[Syrupmakers] Ethanol from sorghum/sugar cane

[G Wilson]

Danny

     I have been interested in ethanol too.  From what I have read corn has a 1.3 to 1 energy conversion rate and would only be feasible with government subsidies where as sorghum has a 16 to 1 conversion rate.  The problem with sorghum is the short harvest season which last 60 to 90 days.
