# Happy Days Are Here Again for the Ethanol Industry

> Successful Farming reports that ethanol plant profits are near the 2014 record, with a representative Iowa plant earning $1.34/gal in mid-November 2021 against a 2014 record of $1.53. Margins were roughly break-even on August 1 and rose steadily after that. Scott Irwin attributes the gain to a sharp ethanol price rise.
