Thanks, crenwelge, for the info. In the past a LOT of our local corn went to the Scott City, Kansas area for all the feedyards there. We now have ethanol plants in Trenton (25 miles west) and Cambridge (27 miles east) so not alot of corn leaves here unless it has already been ran though the ethanol plant. This has really been a good deal especially since fuel is so high-priced now.
The most popular trailer around here is the live bottom trailer used to haul distillers grain from the ethanol plants to farms and feedlots. These trailers have a double chain with large rubber flabs attached that 'poops' out the wet distillers grain wherever the customer would like it. Often times the driver will load up on grain corn at the same farm and haul it back to the ethanol plant.
