I live between two ethanol plants. One is 10 miles away and the other is about 25 miles in the other direction. Here is what they've done for me: We have two brand new cattle feedlots that have been built because of the access to "Distiller's Grain" - which is the fancy name for ethanol corn leftovers. After the starch has been converted to alcohol, the remaining corn becomes a very high protein cattle feed. Making alcohol does not make the grain 'disappear'. These feedlots are hiring people to take care of the cattle, do the marketing and etc.
Second, these alcohol plants have increased my local grain prices to the level of the 'river' markets. In other words, I can sell my grain to the alcohol plant at a higher price than if I sold it to my local elevator. I'm making money, there are more cattle on feed (more food, not less) and people have more and better jobs because of it. Plus, we keep the money for fuel here instead of sending it off to the middle east, where they don't like us. Growing fuel in America is OK. We should be doing more of it. Corn may not be the best choice, but for now, it is a good one. I also grow wood for my home heating fuel. I'm all for using agriculture to improve ourselves in any way we can - not just to make hamburgers with.

Experimentation, from the most complex assembly to the most simple and mundane component, is as an integral a part of any farm tractor's development
