According to C&N, East Fork will have ready access to C&N’s rail logistics hubs in Iowa and provide a reliable supply of biodiesel for C&N’s customer base of obligated parties who need to meet new biodiesel requirements under RFS2.

Chris Daniel, general manager of East Fork, said: “We are very pleased to have selected C&N. Their transparent approach gives us the ability to manage and forecast our costs and margins, and their access to a nationwide market of refiners and blenders in every region of the country gives us great confidence in their ability to secure us the best customers for our product today.”

Douglas Haugh, executive vice president of Mansfield, said: “I’m excited about the innovative approach to feedstocks East Fork is using to grow their plant production and see it as highly synergistic for many of our ethanol plant partners in the region.”
