Smith Bowman Distillery will begin producing about 1 million gallons of ethyl alcohol annually in April for a 1 to 10 gasohol mix. Other Virginia groups seek funds for plants with 20 to 50 million gallon capacities, while farmers consider ethanol for agricultural equipment. Energy gains exist but are modest, depending on the distilling method.
