I sure hope that they gross 100,000 and aren't actually hauling 100,000 lbs. That would be 1785bu of corn/load. Sure would be efficient but man would it tear up the roads. Even grossing 100,000 would be atleast 1250 bu.
I agree, I don't think it is feasible to transport the volume of stalks/grass that is necessary to fuel an ethanol plant from biomass.
Ethanol to come mainly from corn in 2015 - Deere
