Ethanol’s SAN ANTONIO, Texas The next six to eight months will decide if ethanol lives up to its potential and becomes a key component of the nation’s efforts to fight urban air pollu tion, according to Eric Vaughn of the Renewable Fuels Association. Vaughn said he could not predict if the final resolutions governing ethanol would favor the corn-based fuel, but one thing is certain. The oil indus try will spare no energy to pro tect its market share, he said, and the nation’s com producers must follow this example. Vaughn, A 1 Grosboll an CORN SILAGE Is your com silage program standing in milk production and cutting feed supple the way of improved milk production and ment costs, reduced input costs? We know that the quality of corn silage can be highly variable from one hybrid to another. But are you content to take your chances with whatever quality of silage your current com hybrids produce? Or do you want to get more mileage out of your com silage? Cargill Hybrid Seeds has developed a forage quality pro gram that identifies which hybrid within a maturity is best suited for silage production on your farm. After five years of evaluation, university research and hundreds of on-farm tests, we have built a Quality Index to help simplify the corn hybrid selection process. The Quality Index combines a feeding strategy with quality traits that have the greatest impact on boosting “For More Information, Contact These Dealers” Reynold Ralnart Fogelevllle.

However, jobs are only a small pan of the national politi cal debate surrounding ethanol. The environmental benefits of ethanol and the renewable nature of the fuel are crucial to carving out its niche, Vaughn and Grosboll agreed.
