Ethanol in South Texas

Lone Star Ethanol is building an ethanol plant in the Port of Victoria, located in South Texas. The Farmer's Cooperative of El Campo (FCEC) will be responsible for supplying the plant with the corn and grain sorghum that will be used for the ethanol production, as well as the disposal of the byproduct that is produced, Dried Distiller's Grain (DDG's). This plant will require approximately 38 million bushels of grain to produce the 100 million gallons of ethanol at this location.
