Local divisions of W.G. Thompson and Sons Ltd. and Cook's, a Division of Parrish and Heimbecker, are two suppliers of virtually all the corn used to produce ethanol at Commercial Alcohol in Tiverton. Approximately 150 metric tons of corn are received each day. After the corn is used to make alcohol, the remainder - termed 'wet distiller's grain', is sold as cattle feed in Ontario, Michigan and New York. The alcohol production uses starches and sugars leaving high quality protein known as DDG, which is a valuable sup- plement for feeding cattle. The ethanol produced in Tiverton uses all Ontario corn. It is then blended with tailored gasoline at Sunoco's London plant. Bob Downs, on behalf of the Ontario Corn Producers said, "We have tried to promote ethanol for a good number• of years, and are. pleased that there is this movement with ethanol usage in gasoline in Ontario. Bruce County Federation of Agriculture representative, Grant . Collins, said, "We have been lob- bying hand-in-hand to promote use of home grown grain in ethanol production.
