Frontier Ethanol LLC will consume 21 million bushels of corn and produce 60 million gallons of ethanol per year at the $80 million facility. Broin Companies, based in Sioux Falls, S.D., designed and built the plant.

"There are no losers with ethanol, only winners, including farmers, consumers, Iowa´s environment, Iowa´s economy and our national security as we become less reliant on foreign oil," state Sen. Daryl Beall said.
