Farming is changing worldwide because of the pandemic and here's how farmers in the US and France are adapting

Ethanol, which is mostly extracted from corn, is used as an alternative fuel to run cars. Most ethanol plants are located across American Midwest because much of the country’s corn production is concentrated there. “The impact on the ethanol industry has been swift and sharp. Deeply negative operating margins and falling consumption have led to dramatic cuts in ethanol production,” wrote Renewable Fuels Association,“For the week ended April 10, ethanol production was 44 percent below the same time in 2019, hitting the lowest level since the EIA began reporting statistics in 2010,” the report said.
