Day 1 | 2026 Beef Study Tour | 🌽Elite Octane 🌽
We learned about the process of converting corn into ethanol, as well as the byproduct, distillers grains which is either shipped by rail or fed to cattle at local feedlots and dairy farms.

The facility produces approximately 440,000 gallons of ethanol daily.

We also went inside one of the largest grain bins, which had a diameter of 156 feet. It was so large that an airplane could fit inside it!

Thank you Mike for the fantastic tour!
