No other details yet but it seems this IOWA State agency has released some stimulus money towards corn oil extraction. Unknown if this will directly effect GERS? The dolllar amount seems to fit the "purchase option" also used to finance the Albiob, MI COES. This is where the plant finances the COES and GERS pays a higher price on the corn oil.

Here is the Ethanol company's web site.
