    There is no one place where one can read about what is going on about US Sugars buyout by the State of Florida. Personally I think the Glades could be turned the 2nd generation ethanol breadbasket of America using switch grass and or sorghum to make 2nd generation ethanol. Both McCain and Obama are and will be talking up bio-fuels. What better area than the Glades. Everyone knows that sugar imports quota will not last forever.
