Iowa’s 100 Mgy Harvest Biofuels corn ethanol project delayed

In Iowa, the 100 Mgy Harvest Biofuels corn ethanol plant planned for construction in Hancock County has been delayed to at least April. County officials are not optimistic that the project will meet that timeline given capital-raising constraints at the present time. The company extended its option on 180 acres in Concord Township through April, but groundbreaking originally announced for last July has not been rescheduled.
