| English term or phrase: grain-elevator-dotted town | Aus einem Artikel über Ethanol als der Kraftstoff der Zukunft:
BARRELS FROM BUSHELS
In Decatur, Ill., nobody is waiting around for the future; demand for ethanol from corn is booming right now.
This ***grain-elevator-dotted town*** is home to agribusiness giant Archer Daniels Midland, which makes it the capital of the old-school heavily subsidized U.S.
ethanol industry.
On a blustery January day, the air is thick with fog, sleet, and condensation from the corn mills on the 600-acre complex next to ADM's corporate office.
Outside the ethanol plant, the air smells like grape juice gone bad.
Inside, with its giant vats and fermentation towers, the biorefinery resembles a winery, but it's much noisier. |
