ADM said Thursday it is idling production at its corn ethanol plants in Cedar Rapids, IA, and Columbus, NE, furloughing 90 employees in each facility for at least four months, reports 1011 NOW.

The plants, each capable of annually producing about 300 million gallons of the typically corn-based fuel additive, are among the largest of their type in the nation.

The company said it is managing ethanol production throughout its U.S. corn processing network to focus on cash flows and to divert corn grind to other products that are in higher demand, such as alcohol for hand sanitizer.
