4.    PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT

In June 2022, we sold our ethanol plant in Jefferson, Wisconsin for $32 million, which resulted in a gain of $23 million that is included in depreciation and amortization expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

The Jefferson plant was temporarily idled in 2020 at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in response to the decreased demand for ethanol resulting from the effects of the pandemic on our business, and we had previously evaluated this plant for potential impairment assuming that operations would resume. However, we completed an evaluation of the plant during the third quarter of 2021 and concluded that it was no longer a strategic asset for our ethanol business. The plant’s operations permanently ceased at that time.
