AP Wire | 02/17/2006 | Ethanol forces delicate balancing act:
by Chris Blank, Associated Press
"MACON, Mo. - It takes a daily average of 106 trucks carrying 45,000 bushels of corn to feed the oldest and second largest ethanol plant in Missouri.Trucks picking up grain from as far as 120 miles away and dropping their loads at the Northeast Missouri Grain LLC ethanol plant have increased the cost of corn by 20 cents per bushel in the area. That has fueled the construction of two more plants since the Macon facility opened in 2000 and has led to plans for at least three more."
