Ethanol crops option for canker-ravaged citrus farm

Bradenton Herald | 12/29/2005 | Ethanol crops option for canker-ravaged land:
by Richard Dymond
"MANATEE - Ever since Byron and Betty Hodgin lost their 80-acre New Garden Grove near Buckeye Road to citrus canker recently, they have considered selling the land.They also might plant food crops or let it lie fallow.But a fourth option also exists - to grow corn or sorghum and sell it to Tampa-based U.S. EnviroFuels, which hopes to build the state's first 40-million-gallon-per-year corn-ethanol-production facility in the next two years at Port Manatee."
