Putting gasoline blended with corn in your gas tank could increase the cost of food on your kitchen table. That’s the claim of farmers and ranchers who say federal policies mandating corn ethanol production raise the price of feed for American cattle, pork and poultry.

How does it impact California’s clean energy goals?
