GoE For North Dakota!
For Our Farmers
- GoE is a North Dakota product, made from corn grown right here by farmers who support our schools and communities.
- Each year, ethanol plants in North Dakota use approximately 13 million bushels of corn grown by our farmers to produce 35 million gallons of GoE.
- According to the North Dakota Corn Growers Association, GoE production typically raises the market price for corn by 5-10 cents per bushel in the surrounding area.
- GoE production provides the 3rd largest in-state market for corn.
For Our Economy
- Keeping an acre of North Dakota-grown corn in the state and processing it in ethanol plants here triples its economic return.
- GoE creates employment for North Dakotans. Our two ethanol plants, in Grafton and Walhalla, directly employ 60 people.
- According to a recent study, one new 30 million gallon ethanol plant in North Dakota would add 415 new jobs, $14 million in personal income and $44.5 million in gross business volume.
