August 7, 2000Maryland Gets First Ethanol Fuel Station Ed Stanfield, a Baltimore County grain farmer, would like more of his corn to end up in your car's gas tank.
"We've got to develop new markets for our grain if we are ever going to get prices up again," he said.
With big stocks of grain in storage and bumper crops in the field, corn and soybean prices are at 20-year lows.
To help cut into this surplus, the Maryland Grain Producers Association is about to open the state's first ethanol station near Annapolis. Ten more outlets are planned for other parts of the state.
Lynne Hoot, executive director of the Maryland Grain Producers Association, said the group is about to sign a contract with the owner of the Shell service station at the intersection of Riva Road and Harry Truman Parkway for the installation of the state's first ethanol pump.
Ethanol is just one of an increasing number of alternative uses for the corn and soybeans grown in Maryland and other agricultural regions of the country.
"The pump is being added with the oil company's blessing and it will take about 12 weeks to have the tank installed," said Hoot.
She said the state grain group is about to commission a feasibility study to consider the construction of an ethanol production plant in Maryland. Proposals are scheduled to go out next month.
