James W. (Bill) Doty, 51, president of Doty Laboratories Inc.,
and vice-president of Caleb Brett
USA, died on Oct. 22 of an apparent heart attack while traveling to
Manila, Philippines, from the United States.
With his father, who founded the
Kansas City, Missouri, U.S.-based
Doty Laboratories in 1943, Doty
developed a reputation for quality
analytical work among bakers and
millers worldwide. The company,
which provides agricultural and
chemistry services for food and
related industries, was acquired
in 1983 by Caleb Brett USA, an
international commodity inspection company.
Active in the American Association of Cereal Chemists for many
years, Doty received the William
F. Geddes Award from the AACC
in 1987.

InterSystems, Omaha, Nebraska,
U.S., supplied the grain handling
equipment and The GSI Group
Inc., Assumption, Illinois, U.S.,
supplied the grain bins and dryers.
Neuero Industrie Technik, Melle,
Germany, supplied the ship loading equipment.
The unloading and loading facility is designed to handle ship,
rail and truck operations simultaneously, the Silotrans grain terminal director said. Vessels up to
70,000 dwt capacity can be accommodated.

Fired mainly by continued rapid
growth in the United States, global
use of grains in making ethanol in
2008-09 was projected by the In-

ternational Grains Council (IGC) to
post an increase of 30.4% over the
previous year.
While the percentage increase
lagged the prior crop year's gain of
32.1%, the net increase of 29.4 million tonnes was a new record and
ran well ahead of the increase of
23.4 million tonnes in the preceding season.
The IGC projected global use of
grain in making ethanol in the current season at 125.8 million tonnes,
compared with 96.4 million in
2007-08 and 73 million in 2006-07.
This season's use was close to three
times the 44.2 million tonnes used
in making ethanol in 2004-05.
