Brian Woldt Ethanol Quotations

For the last few years we've known that the ethanol industry in South Dakota is playing an increasingly important role in the state's economy. It's a billion dollar industry and is growing exponentially. It's good news for producers and also great news for everyone on main street South Dakota - virtually every citizen - because it has resulted in greater wealth, more jobs and less dependence on foreign oil.

Another positive economic sign for the future of family farms in this state is the fact that more than 8,000 South Dakota farm families are invested in our ethanol industry. That is the largest number of farmer/investors in the nation.
