Which theory is more plausible?

Plus ethanol uses more fuel to produce it then you get, plus it raises prices on corn which causes milk and all corn based products, including beef, to raise in price. The effects of which are already hitting some ranchers I know.

Won't corn prices settle eventually once people start growing more corn (which I know some farmers have begun to do already)?

Only so far as settling corn prices agitate the prices of other crops that are replaced with corn.

Well then the agricultural industry as a whole could grow.
