Bt corn reduces the need for pesticides.
Bt corn, used to control insects that damage corn, reduced the need for herbicides. Herbicide-tolerant corn allows less tilling of the soil, resulting in a 58% reduction in soil loss from 1980–2015.
DDGs are a value-added food source.
Dried Distillers Grains with Solubles (DDGs), a co-product of ethanol production, are a nutrient-rich feed source for livestock.
Ethanol is energy positive.
Ethanol provides three times more energy than required to produce it, while consuming less water than other fuels.
There are seven operational ethanol plants in Ohio.
33% of Ohio’s corn crop is used to make ethanol. Over 95% of all U.S. fuel contains 10% ethanol.
