Alcohol in Motor Car Fuel Could Aid Farm Economy
U S Department of Agriculture reports that making alcohol from corn and other farm products could absorb surpluses and stabilize prices. A 2 percent blend adds about a half cent per gallon, while a 10 percent mix adds 23 to 25 cents, with shifts in grain demand and farm income. The study, requested by Senate Resolution 65, explores tax and policy options to encourage the industry.
