Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 24, 2008, South Dakota Soybean Processors, LLC (“we,” “our” or “us”) entered into an amendment of the Master Loan Agreement with its lender, CoBank, ACB, of Greenwood Village, Colorado. See Item 2.03, the text of which is herein incorporated by reference.
 
Item 2.03.  Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
 
On December 24, 2008, we entered into an amendment of the Master Loan Agreement with our lender, CoBank, ACB. Under the amendment, the maturity date on the $40 million revolving working capital loan, the purpose of which is to finance our inventory and receivables, is extended to February 1, 2010. The interest rate on the working capital loan is subject to two options from which we may select at the time we request funds, a variable rate or fixed rate. The variable rate is based on LIBOR (One-Month LIBOR Index Rate) plus 2.75%, adjusted weekly. The fixed rate is based on a rate quoted by CoBank at its sole discretion. In addition, the interest rate on the revolving term loan, the purpose of which is to fund working capital, is subject to the same rate options as the revolving working capital loan. All other material items and conditions under the Master Loan Agreement and subsequent amendments remain the same following this amendment. The amendment will be filed as an exhibit in our next periodic report.
