A northeast South Dakota ethanol producer has announced expansion plans.
Glacial Lakes Energy will add a six-thousand bushel per hour corn dryer to its plant in Mina, South Dakota. It will also increase the plants storage capacity by 320-thousand bushels and add another receiving pit.
“This year couldn’t be a more vivid example of why we need something similar to what we have in Watertown, up at our Mina plant here,” says Glacial Lakes Energy CEO Jim Seurer. “So, all In all, things are going well.”
The expansion, which will take four to six months, will cost about two-point-75 million dollars. Glacial Lakes Corn Producers is the largest cooperatively owned ethanol company in the U.S., with more than 42-hundred members.
