Fuel ethanol use in the United states has increased by 46% in the last year. A year ago, the complaint was that ethanol was too expensive to be used, now that the price has come down, the complaint is that it’s not expensive enough. With a rack price of $1.56 per gallon and with DDG’s at $110.00 per ton, there is still over $2.00 per bushel margin in distilling corn for fuel. Any other processor would kill for that kind of margin.
