Pelleted Feed Innovation From Nebraska

Two Nebraska companies are turning pellets into profit

Two Nebraska companies are turning pellets into profit. Pellet Technology USA in Gretna and Platte Valley Distillers in Ord are making pelletized feed, one from corn stover and the other from distillers grains. Pellet Technology’s commercial plant was expected to have its first commercial-scale plant online in January enhancing stover for feed. Platte Valley has the pleasant challenge of trying to keep up with demand for its distillers pellets. Ethanol Producer Magazine checks in with management at the two companies to learn more about the processes and progress.
