Feedstock & agricultural sourcing
Built on Morgan’s maize network
Maize is already the core of Morgan’s agri-commodity trading and an input for cattle feed. The planned distillery would draw maize and broken rice from within about 50 km.
DDGS from grain ethanol is intended to return to cattle feed — an example of the farmer → feed → milk → fuel ecosystem Morgan is building.
