Plainview Ethanol Facility
A near twin of our Hereford plant and located only 70 miles away, both the Hereford and Plainview plants share the same rail line and have nearly identical, state-of-the-art designs. And both are strategically located near key markets for ethanol and distiller's wet grain. Plainview utilizes 42 million bushels of grain at peak capacity with 1.2 million bushels of grain storage. The plant is capable of storing up to 3 million gallons of ethanol with access to an additional 4 million gallons of contracted off-site storage. The additional off-site contracted storage capacity is shared with the Hereford plant.
