Processor Preferred Processor PreferredĀ® High Fermentable Corn can help reduce reliance on foreign
oil. 1 acre of corn can produce more than 420 gallons of ethanol. In 2006, U.S. ethanol volume displaced
about 170 million barrels of imported crude oil, valued at $11 billion. Ethanol supports the creation
of more than 153,000 jobs in all sectors of the economy, according to the RFA. By 2015, over 5 billion
bushels of corn could go to producing over 15 billion gallons of ethanol.
