“Not having been in the fuel retailing business before this, I didn’t realize that margins were so tight on gasoline. I’m actually selling regular unleaded right now for a couple of cents less than what I pay for it. But with both E30 and E85, I’m able to make about 20 cents per gallon because I can buy it at such a discounted price.
"I wanted to focus on the farmers, because we have a strong allegiance of fuel – we convert it into energy, and it's homegrown – our local communities support this. Of course, because we’re in a farming community, people try to use the corn they grow. They know that the more gallons of ethanol they burn in their cars and trucks, the less we’re going to be dependent on foreign oil."

“We have really picked up a lot of business since the blender pump was installed. I’m pumping about 2,800 gallons of ethanol each week, and the margins on that are far better than
