Poor Corn Crop Will Have Major Impact on Ethanol Market

Our local ethanol plant uses 100,000 bushels per day from what I’ve heard, and the ethanol plants right now are competing with each other for corn stocks. They’re facing possible layoffs.

I personally would LOVE to run straight gas with no corn in it. I just can’t get it around here.

Not so fast! If farmers not growing why would they have the need to buy.

Just to long as it doesn’t drive up the cost of booze.

I'm making corn whiskey as we speak.

No shortage of white corn here in NJ. Just got to watch out for the revenoors.

Hope it just goes away.

Who says they're going to stop growing it?

There may be plenty of stations claiming to be ethanol free, but in Missouri, the regular gasoline is required by law to contain ethanol. Premium is exempt from this requirement.
