Golden Grain Energy Celebrates Milestone
The 120-million-gallon/year ethanol plant in Mason City, IA, reaches 10 years in production
What began 10 years ago with simple educational discussions has transformed into a North Iowa plant that produces nearly 120 million gallons of ethanol a year.
The idea for Golden Grain Energy, which was formally incorporated March 18, 2002, came from a series of meetings where participants talked about the ethanol industry, the production process, the future of renewable fuels and the use of dried distillers grains, said Walt Wendland, the company’s president and CEO.
