I was saying that the amount of farmland would not be increased by growing corn for ethanol. There is a set amount of farmland out there, and you can't make any more of it. The cities are squeezing out the farmers as it is, and so that is what the "golf courses and city sprawl" comment was about.

The type of corn grown might change to take advantage of specific properties, and there might be a change from wheat or soybeans to a different type of corn, but acres in production now vs. later would be the same.
