Just ain't enough good burnin tequila...

In a tragedy of tragedies, Mexican farmers are burning their blue agave fields to plant corn for ethanol production. As all good booze hounds know, blue agave is the cactus-like plant from which tequila is distilled.

The switch to corn will contribute to an expected scarcity of agave in coming
years, with officials predicting that farmers will plant between 25 percent and
35 percent less agave this year to turn the land over to corn.

Bad news for all us margarita lovers out there. One tequila, two tequila, three tequila - no more?
