HUDSON, SD

COVID-19 UPDATE: Due to the economic fallout of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we are forced to make some operational changes. Over the next month, POET biorefineries in Chancellor, South Dakota and Ashton and Coon Rapids, Iowa will temporarily idle production. In addition, the biorefinery in Shelbyville, Indiana will be delaying the startup of production.

POET has faced difficult times in the past and we have proven our resiliency. We value the partnership and relationship we have with all of our producers and look forward to getting back to normal operations. In the meantime, please reach out to your POET Grain representative if you have questions.

POET Biorefining is located two miles south of Hudson, South Dakota along the Sioux River and is the 19th plant designed and constructed by POET and the 14th plant to be managed by POET.

This facility commenced operations on May 17th, 2004 after less than 10 months of construction and was able to meet its nameplate capacity of 56 mgy within five days of production. This facility will grind approximately 20 million bushels of corn per year and will ship out over 145,000 ton of Dakota Gold® and over 1,500 rail cars of ethanol per year.

We employ approximately 40 people at our facility and have an annual payroll of nearly $1.5 million. We are always interested in buying corn from local producers and as an ethanol facility we add much value to the producer’s corn we grind by; improving the local economy through jobs and an improved basis level, the environment through oxygenated gas, and reduction in energy dependence by easing the need for expensive foreign oil.

POET Biorefining - Hudson is excited about being part of the local community and we look forward to being involved in local events. POET is also awarding a $2,500 community grant in 2018! Click here to learn more.
