Adding Value to North Dakota Corn

According to North Dakota Corn Council Chair Carson Klosterman, ethanol remains an important market. “We really want to get E15 year-round and maybe even mid-levels up to E30,” said Klosterman. “If we could get that, that would be a way to grind through a lot of this corn. USDA is backing off on the 2024 production. There’s corn out in the grain bins that need to get hauled to town and, hopefully, we can turn that into ethanol and ethanol by-products.”
