Anyone heard anymore info on that proposed crusher/bio deisel/ ethanol plant that the Cargyle group out of New York is going to build in central Alberta?
I haven't heard anymore since they said they had a short list of three locations?
About three weeks ago I attended a customer appreciation night put on by the local fertilizer dealer and the owner gave a good long speech on bio fuel in general and hinted that this area(south of Red Deer) was on the short list!
It was also very interesting that he talked about how high starch barley might actually make a better feedstock for ethanol than wheat? He said the barley growers had been doing a lot of research in this area?
He also claimed his group (Agrium) wasn't that far away from bringing in a carbon credit program that would probably come into affect in 2008! He speculated on pasture being in that $35/acre range!
