smoke signals

 

There's nothing really remarkable about the Levelland ethanol plant except today's strong north winds made the smokestacks stream horizontally.  After up and downs the plant is back in production with the capacity of producing the 40 million gallons of ethanol a year.  The plant started making the alcohol-based fuel  by fermenting and distilling starch crops, such as corn  Today the primary source is milo or sorghum -- requiring  40,000 bushels of sorghum each day to produce about 115,000 gallons of ethanol.
