Dakota Spirit Ag Gets Permission, Purchase Corn

Jamestown (CSi) Dakota Spirit Ag Energy has received permission from the Public Service Commission to start the purchasing of corn, with a “Roving Grain Buyer’s License.”

The plant is expected to contract 5 million bushels of corn.

The $430,000 Surety Bond posted by Dakota Spirit might need to be redeveloped based on how much of a bond a Roving Grain Buyer has to have.

The ethanol plant at Spiritwood Energy Park will use steam from the new coal-fired plant to help produce the ethanol.

The ethanol plant is expected to be complete by April of 2015 and the company plans to have a permanent storage facility built at Spiritwood.
