Higher capital costs Lower operating costs Very clean product Contains all the cobs Reduced volume per acre Less moisture control Compliments farmers’
schedule
Lower capital costs Higher operating costs May contain 10% dirt Contains very few cobs Greater volume per acre More moisture control Requires farmer
scheduling
200,000 acres @ 2.5 tons/acre 500 farmer contracts @400
acres/farmer Each contract will have
options/variables $15 million in inventory @ $30/ton 250 acres for storage sites
800,000 bales @ 13 pound density 20,000 bales/day in a 40 day
harvest season 555 semi-loads per day @ 36
bales/load 50 balers required @ 100 acres/day
What does the plant need? Cob/stalk ratio
What will the plant accept? Moisture content
What is the pricing formula? Contract specifications
Use GIS analysis and regional crop history
Coordinate radius with road delivery system
Estimate tons harvested per acre Calculate % of total available acres
