A new administrator has been chosen for the Nebraska Ethanol Board (NEB) to replace Roger Berry, who is leaving the agency December 10.

Reid Wagner will join NEB on Jan. 3, 2022. Wagner graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln where he earned his degree in chemical engineering. His professional experience thus far has led to positions at Evonik as a process engineer; ExxonMobil as a process design engineer; and Cargill as a production management engineering team member in the starches and sweeteners sector.

“Roger is a tremendous asset to the Nebraska ethanol industry, and we all benefited from his guidance and passion for agriculture and biofuels,” said NEB chair Jan tenBensel. “We look forward to Reid coming on board with our team, and we know his background and knowledge will take us, and the ethanol plants we work on behalf of, to new heights as the future of the biofuels industry evolves.”
