Expert Opinion Declares Corn Surplus Better Burned
Dr. George G Brown of the University of Michigan argues that burning corn on the cob yields 600 000 Btu per bushel while converting to alcohol provides only 200 000 Btu. He contends 10 percent alcohol blending raises costs and suggests using coal with corn to absorb the surplus at lower expense. He estimates national motor fuel could rise by 400 to 600 million dollars yearly if the surplus is eliminated via corn fuel blending.
