	They are building a new double facility about 30 miles east of me on 
Indiana 44 between Rushville and Connersville. It is to be a huge ethanol 
plant next door to a giant dairy. We have almost no dairy production in 
this area now. The dairy is to feed the by-product grain (I'm not sure if 
it is classed as DDG or not) and the manure from the dairy will be used to 
produce methane gas which is to provide almost all of the power needs of 
the ethanol plant and the dairy both. That is the word... We shall see the 
actual result in a couple of years...   :-)   I was told that they will 
start with 20,000+ cows and increase to 50,000 over time. Sounds like a lot 
of "manure"... We don't even get that much out of our state government... 
:-)
