It’s almost race time for the Indy Racing League. The first one is this Saturday at the Homestead Miami Speedway and I’ll be blogging from there both here and on our Domestic Fuel site courtesy of the Ethanol Promotion and Information Council. It’s the XM Satellite Radio Indy 300. This is a historic race since it’ll be the first one …

President Bush With Ethanol Indy Car
I’ve got to believe all my friends in the ethanol business are happy about this picture. President Bush visited Novozymes today in Franklinton, NC. He was there to participate in a panel discussion on cellulosic ethanol. The best part of the story is that it’s on the White House website, including the picture of President Bush with the #17 Team …
Ethanol Song & Statistics
What a great week of biofuels blogging this has been. The National Ethanol Conference is now over and saying goodbye was RFA President/CEO, Bob Dinneen. One of the last things he did was play a video (I’ll try to get a copy) supplied by Ron Fagen, Fagen, Inc. It’s actually a music video so when you listen just imagine what …
The State of the Ethanol Industry
If you want a fact-filled rundown on just how things are going in the ethanol industry then look no further than today’s State of the Ethanol Industry speech by Renewable Fuels Association President/CEO, Bob Dinneen.

The Missouri Corn Growers Association held a seminar last week in conjunction with their annual meeting on “Profiting in the New Paradigm – Feed and Fuel Security.” The focus was on how corn growers and livestock producers can work together to produce ethanol and still feed cows and pigs and chickens at a reasonable price. One of the speakers was …

It’s going to be the 2007 National Ethanol Conference put on by the Renewable Fuels Association. This will be a cross-posting venture as I cover the Conference on a website we just built for RFA this …
Garst BYG Winners
Here’s putting your promotional money where your research mouth is. If you’re going to promote products that help in the production of ethanol, or biofuels in general, then what better way to promote it than by using the end result – the fuel. That’s what Garst did. . . . the company is driving support for biofuels by giving the …
From Feed Mills To Ethanol Plants
The word ethanol has been used many times here at the International Poultry & Feed Expos. Often in positive terms but not always. The word was prominently displayed on the backdrop to the AGR International (password protected website?) booth so I stopped in since we do so much work for the ethanol industry. AGR International has traditionally been involved in …
