A new study documents the positive economic impacts of Nebraska’s ethanol industry.
One of the study’s authors, UNL ag economist Kate Brooks, says 94 percent of the ethanol produced, and nearly half of the distillers grains, are shipped out of state.
“If we look at that economic impact in 2017, from all of that going out of the state, it brings about 4.1 billion dollars back to the state,” Brooks says.
