Like IaGary says the switchgrass is for areas that are not being planted with corn,beans,anything else,except grass.I think they do have a model for making alcohol with this stuff,and maybe its in Tennessee,it was in Farm Journal about a year ago.
I dont see where turning corn into ethanol is a problem as its still being used for feed?Whats wrong with that?If its any more energy than it takes to produce it thats less we are importing.Funny thing to think of is this,if these companies werent importing oil,controlling the market,and cheating us,then its probly going to be fine to use corn for ethanol.Besides that you have the people who raise livestock in there as well,dont like it cause corn costs more.Back in the early 70s we grew corn to feed the stock no matter what it was worth.I guess today there are lots of places that just buy grain to feed and dont grow corn.Thats a problem for them,but I dont get all the negative propaganda against ethanol.There is a lot of places we could grow sugar cane if we wanted to,and those areas grow corn now.If you spread this propaganda that ethanol made from corn is no good,then we grow sugar cane,you are going to have less feed.Where does anybody get the idea that the corn used for ethanol is not feed?If you haul corn into the ethanol plant there are trucks bringing corn in and feed out.Better to make ethanol out of corn and still have the feed as use something that will cut the feed production.Thats how I see it,change my mind.Also every gallon of ethanol we use is one less gallon of oil we buy from countrys that hate us.
