Modern agriculture, increased productivity, wildlife habitats and sustainability can coexist.

A good culture and great teamwork have made the POET Biorefining – Corning in southwest Iowa a top performer and good community partner.

Over the next several issues, Vital is going to give you a chance to meet the team at POET. They are the heroes of our company and of our industry. Their day job – and for some, over-night job – includes producing ethanol. But it’s more than that. It’s a passion for this American fuel and the ag communities they reside in. It’s a better future for their kids and grandkids.

Hey, oil industry . . . WE’RE NO DUMMIES!

The Renewable Fuel Standard and the RIN system battles to hold ground after coming under fire time and time again by big oil interests.

The relationship between cattle, grain and fuel is becoming more and more important as the industries evolve.

In June, 15 POET team members and 3 family members ventured from the safety of the Midwest to Kenya, Africa. Our mission – to build a greenhouse for the all-girls school Traveller’s Oasis Centre.

The oil industry is pulling out all the stops to safeguard its territory and prevent ethanol from gaining market access.

The location of POET’s biorefinery near Mitchell, in southeast South Dakota – where corn and cattle come together – gives it a natural competitive advantage.
