Show Workshops on alcohol production "It's important that people who are considering producing alcohol or methane from farm products be properly informed on the economics, the engineering and the technology of production so that they will know what kinds of problems they are dealing with as they get into it," stated Dr. Wayne B. Ringer, extension energy program leader, Utah State University. Ringer announced a series of six workshops on alcohol and methane production on the farm scheduled in Utah the first part of November. These will aim to provide farmers, livestock producters and agri-business people with the following information: (1) processes for on-farm production of alcohol and methane, (2) economics of each process, (3) farm uses of alcohol and methane, (4) operation and maintenance of equipment and safe storage requirements, (5) potential uses of by-products derived from the production, (6) availability of credit to support the production of alcohol and methane. The general public is invited to attend and to make input concerning their interests and needs relative to the production and use of alcohol and methane and the resulting by-products. The workshops in the Uintah Basin will be held at the Moon Lake Building in Roosevelt on Nov. 7, from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The schedule of other ' meetings throughout the state are as -follows: Nov. 5, Tremonton; Nov. 6, Provo; Nov. 10, Farmington; Nov. 11, Richfield and Nov. 12, Cedar City.
