South Dakota Developers Consider Ethanol Plant

Dakota Plains operates grain shuttling facility in Napa Junction and is interested in building a plant

纳帕结东南部uth Dakota is poised for more development as officials consider building an ethanol plant and a private natural gas pipeline in the area reportsAP News.

Several companies have expressed interest in bringing an ethanol plant to Napa Junction, which has seen much activity over the past year and a half with the opening of a grain shuttling facility and a new pelleting plant that’s under construction.

Officials have found that a cost-effective option to feed the ethanol operation would be to build a private natural gas pipeline for the area northwest of Yankton, according to Matt Winsand, general manager of Dakota Plains Ag LLC.

Dakota Plains, which operates the grain shuttling facility in Napa Junction, has been looking into an ethanol plant in the area for a few years.
