The ethanol plants around here are NOT big employers. The plants after they are built don't seem to take many to run them. The plant at Dyersville does not have more than ten guys working there.
I personally don't like ethanol blended fuel. You can buy and use what ever you want. Also the energy gained out of a gallon of ethanol fuel is not very much. It takes too much energy to grow/make the ethanol. The process is getting better but is still not a real answer to the energy needs of this country.
With the higher farm prices right now, I don't think we need subsidies in agriculture right now. If a few of the guys around here where not getting millions of dollars they would not be paying $300-400 an acre rent. Look it up. I have two neighbors that have gotten more than $5 million dollars, combined total, the last ten years.
Ethanol should be able to stand on its own too. It is not a new industry. It has been around for just about a 100 years now. Henry Ford tried to get it going then.
