Ethanol in gas
If it clogs the needle jets on the carb of my Drifter then I think it is "bad for my environment" :)

That is one of the side effects of ethanol. It will clean anything and everything out of the tanks. That was a big issue when it first came out.

Ethanol in gas
I can tell you that my brother-in-law that is a diary farmer and another life long friend that owns a cattle feedlot use no corn used for fuel. We they use field corn and the whole plant is chopped and consumed as silage. They augment silage (corn) with cotton seed, alfalfa hay, etc. These operations are after the optimal (nutrient dense) nutrition to produce milk and meat. Then more than 30% distillers grain is used in a diary cow's diet the milk production and protein concentrations are less. It will be a hard sell to farmers.

I am assuming that your brother-in-law and friend are in North Dakota. Hate to say it but there is not the corn production in North Dakota as well as the ethanol production so supply of the by products is limited. Shipping is the killer on them as they try to sell them wet with the cost of drying would jump prices substantially. I would beg to differ on the hard sell to farmers. The distillers grain in many locations is spoken for by feedlots and dairies. Generally fed at less than 30% of the ration. The biggest key is access to the product. We have 2 plants within 30 miles of here and they have everything booked going out.
