Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 28, 2006, the registrant entered into an agreement with Transocean Group Holdings PTY Ltd. (“Transocean”) of Sydney, Australia. Transocean is an investment and corporate advisory firm that provides investment banking and corporate finance services to emerging companies across a diverse range of industries. The purpose of the agreement is to set forth the initial and general terms of a joint project between the registrant and Transocean to develop and operate a 40 million gallon biodiesel refinery to be located adjacent to the registrant’s existing plant site. Under the agreement, a new entity called High Plains Biofuels, Inc., a Delaware corporation, is formed for the purpose of owning the refinery, with both the registrant and Transocean owning a 50% equity interest in the corporation. The registrant will provide the construction, administrative and operational management services for High Plains Biofuels, and will supply soybean oil from its soybean processing facilities for the production of biodiesel. Transocean will provide the initial capital funding for the project as well as act as lead manager and coordinator for all future debt and equity funding. Both the registrant and Transocean will receive arm’s length compensation for any services or goods provided to High Plains Biofuels. The biodiesel refinery is expected to be completed in the early part of 2008. The agreement will be filed as an exhibit in the registrant’s next periodic report.
