Stacey Takes Us From Cornfields to Clean Fuel: A Journey Through America's Bioethanol Horizon

3 Cocktails In

When was the last time you thought about where the fuel for your car comes from, or the story behind every kernel of corn on your dinner plate? Allow our friend Stacey who works at Poet Biorefining in Jewel, Iowa to enlighten you, as she spills the secrets of turning corn into clean-burning ethanol and other valuable products. Weaving personal tales from our girls' weekend with professional insights, this episode paints a vivid image of the tight-knit agricultural community and the renewable energy industry that sustains it. It's a heartwarming blend of laughter, land, and the kind of local lore that turns an industry tour into a hometown story.
Fire up your engines and clear the air, because we're hitting the road with ethanol, a biofuel that's powering more than just our cars—it's energizing small-town economies across America. Debunking myths with the sharpness of a farmer's scythe, we talk about ethanol blends, engine health, and the initiatives championing this corn-crafted fuel. As Stacey steers us through her 30-year journey from bookkeeping to buying bushels of corn for biofuel, we're reminded that the merriment of a weekend getaway can seamlessly merge with the mission to make our planet greener. Join us for a ride through the countryside that promises more than scenic views—it offers a glimpse into the future of sustainable fuel.
