MO Ethanol is on the way.

The grand opening for Missouri Ethanol will be Monday, Sept. 25 on the plant site near Laddonia, Mo.

The event will include public tours of the facility and a fly-over from the Vanguard Squadron, the world’s only 100 percent ethanol-powered aerobatic fleet.

Several dignitaries will be on hand to celebrate the event, including U.S. Senators Kit Bond and Jim Talent, U.S. Congressman Kenny Hulshof, Missouri State Senator John Cauthorn, Missouri House Speaker Rod Jetton, Missouri Corn Growers and Merchandising Council CEO Gary Marshall and Broin Companies CEO and President Jeff Broin.

Built through a partnership between Broin Companies, East Central Ag Products and North East Missouri Grain, LLC in Macon, Mo., Missouri Ethanol will consume approximately 17 million bushels of locally-grown corn to produce 45 million gallons of ethanol and 134,000 tons of premium Dakota Gold Enhanced Nutrition Distillers
