This will be a big seller to grain farmers once tractors are manufactured to burn 100% ethanol. Undoubtedly the liberal urban dwellers, oil workers, and those incapable of self-sufficiency will be on another major whining jag about those dirty, greedy, food growers.

No one is going to manufacture tractors to burn ethanol today. Farmers converted from gasoline to diesel engines in the 50’s to late 60’s and never looked back.

There are plenty of antique, smaller tractors that burn gasoline and could burn ethanol, but they’re not suitable for use on big acres.

Many growers could get ethanol at cost, since they bought into the co-operatives that produce ethanol. There’s no need to deal with hobby quantities like this.
