I would like to see the break down on those figures.
Here are some figures I put together.
My costs for an acre of production is $160 dollars for seed ,chemicals and fertilizer. And you know the costs are not all energy related. But we will say they are.So that is 80 gal of fuel.
I use about 5 gal of diesel per acre to grow and harvest.I use about 5 gal per acre to dry including electric converted to gals.It takes about 5 gal an acre for deleivery from my farm to ethanol plant.
The plant uses about 40 gal an acre to produce the ethanol at the plant.And we will say another 5 gal an acre to deliever to the gas pumps.
So 80+5+5+5+40+5=140 gal to produce an acre of corn.
200 bushel of corn to the acre will produce 540 gal of ethanol.
Which is higher 540 from an acre or 140 to produce that 540 gallons.
I could be wrong on that 40 gallon at the plant but we know it can't be much more than that.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
