CORN IS A RENEWABLE RESOURCE
It would take 4 million years to produce crude oil, 40 years
to grow a tree and 4 months to grow a
bushel of corn.

corn belt states of Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois,
and Nebraska account for 50% of the corn grown in the U.S.

CORN IS A LOW COST SOURCE OF ENERGY
When the price of corn goes up farmers try to produces more
corn to make more money. When the
price of corn goes down farmers try to increase their yields per acre. Due to
over production world-
wide and the increase yield per acre prices have stayed relatively the same over
the years.
BI-PRODUCT
Bi-Products can be used or sold for potting soil additive.
GENERATED BENEFICIAL CO-2
When corn is burning the resulting gas created is carbon
dioxide. The carbon dioxide is then absorbed
again by plants to replenish and to grow. As a result oxygen is produced by the
plants; therefore it
continues to replenish the cycle of nature. When corn is burned, in reality it
produces very little odor.
