When the natural gas pipeline south of Winnipeg exploded there were several ethanol plants that had to shut down for a little while so that might have hurt production for a few days but other then that I think most plants are producing at full speed because it has been very good margins. The plants are having to pay more for Natural gas but I haven't heard of any plants that are cutting back because of the cost of gas. $4.00 corn and $2.15 ethanol works fine but if we get down to CBOT futures prices then some plants might slow down but not at current prices. |
