May Operation Notes

In the second quarter of 2025, the United Ethanol team put a huge focus on continuing our operations team training, reducing our operational costs and increasing uptime. The team has reached some huge milestones in regard to these initiatives. In the second quarter we had significantly increased efficiency in Fermentation by eliminating the vast majority of our infection sources in the plant and focusing on training with our operations team. We have improved from the first quarter in many aspects, but the team is always growing, and I am excited about where the future will take us. The plant has been running exceptionally well out of our spring outage and through the summer as we battle the higher temperatures. 

All our numbers improved from the First Quarter of the year, along with plant margins. Finalizing the Fall Shutdown schedule is on track. Scheduled for the 3rd week of October 2025. 

United Ethanol entered into an agreement with

The global ethanol market recently experienced rapid change and increased opportunities. U.S. ethanol producers are starting to see significant financial gains. Over the past six months, the industry has faced some of the lowest crush margins in recent memory, making the start of 2025 particularly difficult. We have seen margins improve in June and July, and it appears we will have decent margins the rest of 2025. They are not as good as 2023 and 2024, but respectable. Our plant is running very well, and July should be a good month. Hopefully, we can string several months together with this performance. That would give us a respectable year for 2025.
