Quick Bibliography Series:
Bibliographies in the Quick Bibliography Series of the National
Agricultural Library, are intended primarily for
current awareness, and as the title of the series implies, are
not indepth exhaustive bibliographies on any given subject.
However, the citations are a substantial resource for recent
investigations on a given topic. They also serve the purpose of
bringing the literature of agriculture to the interested user
who, in many cases, could not access it by any other
means. The bibliographies are derived from computerized on-line
searches of the AGRICOLA data base. Timeliness of topic and
evidence of extensive interest are the selection criteria.
The author/searcher determines the purpose, length, and search
strategy of the Quick Bibliography. Information regarding
these is available upon request from the author/searcher.
Copies of this bibliography may be made or used for
distribution without prior approval. The inclusion or
omission of a particular publication or citation may not be
construed as endorsement or disapproval.
To request a copy of a bibliography in this series, send the

Abstract: A process and apparatus for dewatering an ethanol-
water solution is disclosed wherein a carrier gas is used to
vaporize the solution and transport the vapors to a sorbent where
water is sorbed in preference to ethanol. The invention is
particularly suited for small-scale production of fuel-grade
ethanol for blending with gasoline.

Abstract: Extract: Demand for food products will expand rapidly,
with vigorous growth in effective demand in foreign markets.
Southeastern producers have the advantage of a strategic location
to share in the growth in export markets for agricultural
products. The growth in demand will raise prices sufficiently to
offset cost increases for major enterprises, so that farmers will
continue to bring marginal land into production and hold down
their expansion of grazing livestock enterprises. On balance,
total agricultural output will expand but shifts in competitive
positions will cause traditional enterprises to diminish in
importance. The structure of southeastern agriculture will
continue to change rapidly in the decade ahead. I believe that
commercial agriculture of the 1980's will differ remarkably from
its predecessor of a short two decades ago.

Abstract: Extract: This report documents the costs of producing
ethanol from five small on-farm distilleries and compares the
production costs with the value of ethanol when used as a motor
fuel. Important factors useful in planning a farm distillery are
discussed and production costs for five model distilleries,
producing 190 proof ethanol and ranging in output from 840 gpy
(gallons per year) to 201,600 gpy, are derived using a base set
of input prices with a breakeven analysis used to evaluate the
profitability of each distillery.

Abstract: Extract: We evaluate the economics of three operating
plants producing ethanol from grain in and around Illinois with
rated capacities of 625 to 1,500 thousand gal./yr. We first
present anecdotal results on capital costs, operating
difficulties, and success in marketing the ethanol and the feed
by-product. All three plants are viable because, among other
things, their indirect costs are low due to acquisition of used
tanks. We then analyze the sensitivity of production costs to
changes in costs of inputs, and, assuming uncertainties in
inputs, the total uncertainty in production cost. Besides the
cost of grain and fuel, the most important factor in cost is the
"duty cycle", the fraction of total capacity actually realized.

Legislation; Costs; Cost benefit analysis
Abstract: Increased fuel ethanol production from renewable
resources like grain through 1995 would raise net farm income
benefiting mainly corn and livestock producers. Production of
additional byproduct feeds would depress prices of soybeans.
Large ethanol subsidies, which are required to sustain the
industry, would offset any savings in agricultural commodity
programs. Increased ethanol production would also raise consumer
expenditures for food. Any benefits of higher income to farmers
would be more than offset by increased Government costs and
consumer food expenditures. Direct cash payments to corn growers
would be more economical than attempting to boost farm income
through ethanol subsidies.

Abstract: Extract: Small scale on-farm production of sunflower
oil as a diesel fuel substitute and grain alcohol as a gasoline
substitute are both technically feasible. This research compares
the technical feasibilities of these two technologies, estimates
the cost of producing these fuels at three different scales and
examines the impact of the available subsidies for ethanol
production on the economic ranking of these technologies. The
ethanol plants are based on technologies modeled in previous
studies. The sunflower oil plants were designed as a part of this
thesis on the basi of available oil presses and relatively simple
oil refining equipment. As modeled in this study, sunflower oil
is screened, filtered, degummed, neutralized, transesterified,
washed and dried in order to produce transesterified, refined
sunflower oil (TRSO).

Abstract: Extract: "The purpose of this paper is to report
initial results of a farm level regional analysis of the
Brazilian alcohol plan. Alcohol production from energy crops is
presently not competitive with world oil prices. However, within
Brazil, a price regulated energy market insures a competitive
price for alcohol. The analysis examines both the regulated
market and a free market for energy. The free market analysis is
conducted to measure the anticipated response to rising energy
prices."

Abstract: Extract: The purpose of this paper is to examine,
within an economic framework, the optimal arrangement of small-
scale ethanol production. The first is on-farm production. Most
observers believe that on-farm production will not be undertaken
widely due to technical disadvantages, low product yields, and
significant demands on the time of farm operators. The second
option is a small specialized production unit which though not
actually part of a farm operation, has direct ties to the local
economy for its inputs and outputs. Local grain feedstocks would
be used. Protein-rich by-products could be fed to livestock in a
feedlot associated with the plant or on nearby farms. Finally,
the alcohol produced might be used locally. It is this small
specialized production unit which serves as the basis for our
analysis.
