<p>[QUOTE=&quot;justafarmer, post: 1092150, member: 3926&quot;]2009 average yeild of corn per acre was 160 bushels. The ethanol conversion rate for corn is 2.7 gallons per bushel or 445 gallons of ethanol per acre. To be honest I find the 1.6 to 1 energy deficit figure mentioned above highly doubtful. </p><p><br /></p><p>To be honest I am not sold on corn based ethanol as a longterm solution. But short-term - it is a solution which produces an ROI on building domestic ethanol production capacity utilizing surplus US agriculture production. As I stated above even with current ethanol production the US still produces a large annual surplus of corn.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
