Im new so I apologize for not spanning all these indvidual posts, but I have things to do. Lets get the blatant falsehoods out of the way.
Kilodelta - ADM produces little to no corn. ADM buys corn from farmers and processes it.
RickRussellTX-I doubt you'll find a single combine(harvester) and few if any tractors running gasoline.
The numbers for Big River Resources in Burlington, IA agree with those Snaffler provided. It too is a modern Ethanol facility.
To those boasting the brilliance of Brazilian ethanol, Bom Dia! ADM is a powerful trader and processor of agriculture products there as well.
And finally, ADM went through a huge restructuring recently, say 2000ish. If you want proof of the culture change, look at the OSHA safety numbers. They aren't perfect, but it's not fair to use a past that's been left behind to make judgements on. Also, subsidies in this country benefit the American farmer, the person that put the food on your plate, not just corporations.
