East Central South Dakota | Jeremey, I think one of the unknowns is how much ethanol stock do you want in your investment portfolio ? ? Farmers have stood tall in the capital investment of new plants and support the industry, including by getting their check books out and writing checks. However, a lot of producers all ready own a lot of stock in a lot of different entities. Early invested plants have returned very well and will that money find its way back into new plant investment ? Is there investment fatigue in ethanol assets ? The longer we stay at 2 dollar corn the more incentive to build, however, we need gasoline consumption to increase. Cheap feed stock doesn't equate to automatic returns if your end product is in an over-supplied market. Take the RFS to E-15 and investment in new assets is a much more attractive investment.
edit---- an IPO will answer a lot of these questions.........
