This particular thread isn't focussed on the plusses and minusses of ethanol, rather that there is a push by railroads to force any potential ethanol plant to be large scale so that unit train operations can be employed.

If all future ethanol plants are forced to be large or nothing, then those local co-ops won't have a chance to succeed unless their end market is also local. If the railroads would willingly provide carload service, it could be a different story..........
