*********************
GPRE presentations have always been important since they are presently GreenShift's biggest customer.  However their corn oil percentage increase from the 2Q to 3Q closely mirrored the percentage increase in GreenShift revenues over the same period.  Therefore, their detailed numbers may be a good bellwether for GreenShift's 4Q revenues.  I suspect that as GPRE's COES units mature and the easy de-bottlenecking is behind us, the GreenShift gowth percentage, with new units coming on line at least through the 2Q of 2012,  will next year outpace that of GPRE's.  {That is unless GPRE aggressively pursues Method II}  But for the time being, the GPRE's numbers should be very helpful.
