Poet Testing Corn Cobs For Fuel Feedstock


HURLEY, S.D. (AP) — The piles of corn cobs sitting on Darrin Ihnen's family farm that not too long ago would have been considered field waste represent energy potential to ethanol producer Poet.

The Sioux Falls-based company, which has been making ethanol from corn for more than 20 years, is working with Ihnen and several farm equipment manufacturers to develop ways to harvest, store and transport cobs that could one day join kernels as an alternative fuel feedstock.

``Cobs surround our facilities,'' said Jeff Broin, Poet's president and chief executive officer. ``It's a natural feedstock for us.''

Privately held Poet, formerly Broin Cos., plans to expand its 50-million-gallon-per-year dry-mill plant in Emmetsburg, Iowa, to produce 125 million gallons per year — 25 percent of them from corn cobs and fiber.
