My personal opinion is the Ethanol is no good for anyone! In the long run I dont see it doing anything other then raising the prices of everything we consume. Having said that there is an ethanol plant just down the road from me that just went up that is probably placed in the best place to be economically feasible that it can be.
There is a rail spur that is right next to a feed lot that has around 100,000 head of cattle on it. Rail cars unload the corn to the ethanol plant and they process it. When they are done with it the mash goes to the feed lot and they process that into to feed for the cattle. When the cattle get done processing it the manure gets trucked next door to the fertilizer plant where they turn it into various forms of fertilizer for all of the chain home improvement stores. That was pretty good planning by someone to place all of those businesses on contiguous property!
