Think about what you're saying. Sure, let's say the machinery is powered by ethanol. It makes no differenc. Let's say you somehow have 1000 gallons of ethanal on hand. You use all 1000 gallons powering the machinery to plant, harvest, and refine the ethanol from corn. From that 1000 gallons spent, you only get back say, 800. You just did all that work, and now you have less than what you started with. Do you see where this is heading? Ethanol production is not self sustaining. Without petroleum fuel it's not possible to maintain, and producing actually depletes our oil reserves faster.
