The dry mill has the capacity the produce 300 million gallons of ethanol annually, employing 150 full-time workers. During the construction phase over 1,400 contractors were employed.
‘This was a big boost to us in the early down of the economic slowdown and it’s kept us from feeling the full impact of this recession,’ explained Mayor Mike Moser. ‘It has helped the (agriculture) producers around here because it gives them another market for their grain.’
In Nebraska alone ADM owns facilities in Cozad, Grand Island, South Siouk City, Fremont and Lincoln. The company has a total of seven corn mills, utilising a total of 2 million bushels of corn per day.
