American Made
Ethanol
We work with locally grown corn to produce cleaner and greener renewable fuel and animal feed. Ethanol improves the air quality by reducing vehicle emissions, as well as increasing energy independence and lowering fuel prices. We support and appreciate the local producers and communities who surround us!

Grinds 50 million bushels of corn each year
Produces 338,000 tons of DDGS
Produces 150 million gallons of corn starch based ethanol
Produces 46 million pounds of corn oil
Produces 4 million gallons of corn kernel fiber, low carbon intensity ethanol
Ethanol
Ethanol is renewable fuel made from corn. Ethanol can be blended with gasoline, creating blends such as E10, E15, and E85.
Cellulosic Ethanol
Cellulosic ethanol is a second-generation biofuel produced by converting corn fiber into ethanol. Cellulosic ethanol has a lower carbon intensity than ethanol produced from corn starch.
DDGS
Distiller's Dried Grains with Solubles (DDGS) is a valuable feed ingredient. It's what remains of a corn kernel after it is converted into ethyl alcohol. DDGS contains high levels of protein and fat, so it's great for hogs, poultry, and cattle.
Corn Oil
Distillers corn oil is a crude vegetable oil product that is created when the oil is separated from the syrup. The co-product is mainly used as a feedback for biofuel, animal nutrition, and industrial applications.
