Kansas Ethanol Production

Current Kansas Ethanol Production
13 dry mill ethanol plants are currently in operation in Kansas with a capacity of about 504.5 million gallons. (As of May 20, 2008) Current Kansas production creates a market for about 180 million bushels of sorghum and corn. The two grains are interchangeable in the ethanol-making process.

One-third of the grain used for ethanol returns to the food stream as wet or dry distillers grains (DDGS), a valued, high-nutrient livestock feed. Combined Kansas corn and sorghum production normally ranges between 500 million and 600 million bushels per year. The 2007 Kansas crop produced 730 million bushels of corn and sorghum combined. Kansas’ ethanol plants bring millions of dollars of revenue and economic development to Kansas and the rural communities where they are located.
