East Central South Dakota | I think maybe I have a little bit of a clue. Cargill has wet milling plants that can be dedicated to a whole range of products besides ethanol--mainly syrup. There is a difference between production capacity and actual production. You can spin that how ever you feel is appropriate. Those 300 million gallons are almost all as a by-product out of your wet milling plants that are dedicated to making syrup. How many plants do you have that are dedicated to making fuel grade ethanol ? The fuel ethanol industry is a 15 billion gallon industry. You are beating your chest on 300 million gallons of by-product ethanol. CONGRADULATIONS you contribute to 2 percent of the nations fuel ethanol supply based solely on your by-product ethanol out of your wet milling syrup mills. Maybe what you say has more pertinence on the market than what little you produce. Cargill in a non-issue in the fuel ethanol industry and what little gallons you contribute are by-product ethanol gallons out of your wet mills. Your words hurt the industry way more than your by-product gallons contribute-----see below articles.
