NE SD | Ron,
Our local ethanol plants are very forgiving as far as what they take for corn.....at least have been in the past. We have taken them some of the rankest corn you could imagine- running it through a grain vac to knock off the crud was the best way we figured to move it into the truck. The only thing they docked us for was for it smelling musty. I can't remember what the dock was, but it wasn't much.
Foreign matter- again, seem to be a LOT more forgiving than the local elevators. We once thought that when all this came to be, that the elevators would have to change their tune to get any corn. Several years later, corn acres have increased, elevators are getting a lot of corn, and they are just selling it to ethanol plants anyhow.
Moisture- anything under 17% goes here during harvest. Never hauled anything wetter than that there during the rest of the year, but the past couple years their bins have been full most of the time, so I would guess that they don't even want anything over 15%. | |
