Radio Iowa: Officials with Green Plains Renewable Energy are rejecting a Reuters report this week claiming the company is shutting down a pair of Iowa ethanol plants in Kossuth and Dickinson counties. “We are not closing any ethanol plants,” said Jim Stark, vice president of media relations for Green Plains. The Reuters report on Monday cited unidentified sources saying that two plants, in Lakota and Superior, would be closed due to low ethanol demand. Stark said production in Superior is on hold, but the plant’s 46 workers are still there.
