The Na tional Corn Growers Associa tion (NCGA), working closely with the New York Corn Growers Association, made great strides recently telling the “true story” about ethanol to key legislators and agencies, academia and consumers in the Empire State. Recently, a hurdle that corn growers have faced in New York and the nation was a report by Cornell University Professor David Pimentel, who positioned ethanol as an inefficient and uneconomical fuel. Corn growers met that hurdle head on in a peer-to-peer meeting Tuesday with Pimentel. “Our meeting was very cor dial and interesting,” said McClelland, who represented corn growers along with Colo rado School of Mines Professor Mike Graboski. “Dr. Pimentel listened to our concerns about his report, and we are encour aged that he asked us to provide additional data so that he can re-evaluate his position.” A key concern by corn growers is that Pimentel’s con clusions that corn ethanol pro duction achieves a negative balance were based on outdated and flawed data. McClelland said NCGA will provide unbi ased information from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the U.S. Department of Energy and other sources refuting Pimen tel’s claims. Corn growers also met with other Cornell University profes sors and researchers to discuss the Pimentel report, Cornell ethanol research and the results of a rural economic impact study commissioned by the New York Corn Growers Associa tion. “We were very well received by the Cornell staff, who ex pressed a keen interest in renew able fuels and the impact the ethanol industry would have on the rural economy in New York and nationwide,” said York, Neb., farmer Boyd Smith, chair man of the NCGA Ethanol Mar keting Committee. The corn growers also dis cussed the rural economic impact study data with New York State Sen. Jim Wright, who helped fund the study, along with key New York agency representatives. “The rural economic impact study, which would apply not only in New York but in other states where the production of ethanol would benefit economies in rural sectors, indicates that the ethanol industry can sustain approximately 700 jobs through the annual production of 30 mil lion gallons of denatured ethanol plus related co products,” said Kevin Swartley, president of the New York Corn Growers Association, and a corn grower from Romulus, N.Y. “It is anticipated that these jobs will sustain more than $45 million of economic activity and provide $l6 million or more in annual incomes to New Yorkers.” Swartley added that a one time benefit of about $9l million in economic activity will result from plant construction and from preparation of land for crop production. Smith concluded that corn growers will continue to work with all of the groups they met to ensure the development of the ethanol industry in New York. Metal Roofing & Siding Since 1948 jmmms. A. B.
