Bill Taylor Plants Quotations

Till the (industry's) distribution infrastructure catches up, you can expect margins to go down and get narrower and narrower. If both plants are expected to buy from a distance, and the cost of transportation goes up, there comes a point where neither plant will be competitive. If that happens, one or both will close or run at a loss. That is a very serious risk.

While that may sound anti-competitive, one or both plants would be forced to import corn.
