A near twin of our Hereford plant and located only 70 miles away, the
Plainview plant is an ideal location that offers many advantages including
shared management, marketing and logistical resources. 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.
