This is the third ethanol plant investment for The Andersons, according to CEO Mike Anderson. “Locating in Darke County, the largest corn-producing county in the state, is ideal and the community’s reception has been exceptional. In addition to providing a viable alternative fuel source for our country, we look forward to serving the local farming community through corn sourcing and high-quality distillers dried grains.”

Gary R. Heminger, executive vice president of Marathon Oil Corporation says the Greenville facility is the largest ethanol plant in Ohio. “Marathon is one of the first U.S. oil companies to initiate its own ethanol production operations,” said Heminger. “Marathon has been blending ethanol fuels for more than 15 years and is among the largest blenders of ethanol in the United States.”
