US BioEnergy Corp. plans to construct a 100 million-gallons-per-year ethanol facility near Dyersville, Iowa.

The project is contingent on zoning, permitting, tax incentives and financing, the Brookings, S.D.-based company said.

The site would consume 37 million bushels of corn and also produce 320,000 tons of dried distillers grain each year, the company said.

"A plant of this size will have a tremendous impact on this region, including over 40 high-paying jobs, a significant increase in the demand for local corn, and accessibility to distillers grain, a high-grade animal feed product," said US BioEnergy CEO Gordon Ommen.
