Why are they pushing corn for making Ethanol?

Question:

Do you know what percent of corn raised in the US is under irrigation? It is less than 12%. It's mostly dryland. They conversion is easier from corn. And for the farmer; easier storage, transportation, use existing equipment, and he will use his existing farming practices. Corn just makes "cents".

They are pushing corn, because corn is a major product of the united states. A lot of the promotion of ethanol is funded by the corn industry.

They would not adopt ethanol as readily if they had to purchase new equipment and farming techniques.
