The average cow can consume up to 4.5 lbs of distillers grain per day. At that consumption rate, GLE currently produces enough distillers to fee 200,000 cattle per day. After expansion we will produce enough to feed 400,000 cattle per day.

Once expanded (100 mgy) GLE will produce 324,196 gallons of ethanol per week which is equivalent to filling the Watertown Aquatic Swimming Pool six times per week.

GLE produces enough ethanol per day to fill 18,885 vehicles (considering they have a 15 gallon gas tank) per day or 3.4 million cars annually

On average, we have worked 517,200 hours accident (No Lost Time Accidents) free. That’s like a new born baby who lives to be 60 without an accident.

GLE has an approximate payroll of $2 million dollars

The expansion at GLE will cost an estimated $86 million

When completed, if you combined all the motors the total horsepower would be 16,300 hp which would light 202,663—60 watt light bulbs.

When GLE began production in 2002 they employed 33 people. Today they employ 71.

If you laid all the piping in the plant (including expansion) end to end, it would stretch 8.5 miles which is almost equivalent the distance from Watertown to Kranzburg

If only one person was employed to perform the current expansion at GLE, it would take him 28.5 years to complete. Currently, we have over 250,000 man hours working on the project.

The concrete silos are 54 feet in diameter and 112 feet tall the steels bins are 90 feet in diameter and 110 feet high they would compare to an 8 story building. The diameter of the corn pile is 305 feet almost the size of a football field.

The height of the grain dyer is 120 feet – the average of Old Faithful is 130 feet high.

The total bushel that we have processed for our first five years would fill the metro dome just about 2 times. With the expansion every two years could fill the metro dome.

If you place the trucks end to end, they would be 1315 miles long. That would take you from Watertown to New Orleans, LA
