But I did grow up in Wisconsin, where the last of the small town teams, the Green Bay Packers, claimed my childish heart and, to this day, my aging one.

But can he do all that and grow fuel for the world as well? "Ah, now you've hit the nail on the head." Maggi says the biofuel boom is making him richer, but it's also making it harder to feed children and save trees. "There are many mouths to feed, and nobody's invented a chip...
