Tall Corn Ethanol Cooperative dba POET
Value Added Ag Venture Award Recipient in 2001
Nominated by Glidden Rural Electric Cooperative

Tall Corn Ethanol of Coon Rapids now known as POET Biorefining is a 54 million gallon per year producer of fuel grade ethanol. This value-added project represents a $55 million dollar investment of farmer-owners that began operations in August of 2002.

Value-added processing of corn products is an important key to expanding the market potential for Iowa corn. Ethanol reduces foreign oil imports, improves air quality, creates rural American jobs, boosts local economies, and improves corn producer profitability.

POET Biorefining - Coon Rapids, designed and built by POET Design & Construction, is one of the most energy-efficient, labor-efficient, and microbiologically-efficient ethanol production facilities in the U.S.
