Nov. 9

Cargill Inc. plans to more than double the production of ethanol at its Blair, Neb., complex with the construction of a new plant.

The new facility will produce 110 million gallons of ethanol per year. The Blair corn-processing complex´s current capacity is 85 million gallons per year. The addition will increase Cargill´s annual U.S. ethanol production capacity to 230 million gallons.

The company plans to break ground in the spring and start production in late 2007.
