Our first ever The Progressive Farmer-Zogby International poll shows you are looking for change from the White House and Congress—and for answers to high fuel and fertilizer prices.

But the poll hints change might be afoot. Seventeen percent of those answering the survey say they may vote for the other party's Senate and House candidates this time around. Another 10% say they are not sure which party's candidates they will vote for this year.

Rod Grindle of Hastings, Iowa, has voted Republican in the past. But he was hoping to vote for Hillary Clinton, who he sees as a strong supporter of ethanol. While he would likely vote for an Obama-Clinton ticket, he is not all that excited about Obama. And for Grindle, McCain is not an option this time around.

With 1,500 acres of corn that in good years produces 200 bushels an acre, Grindle is focused on finding the best markets for his production. He counts ethanol among those markets. He is looking forward to the opening of an ethanol plant near his southwest Iowa farm.
