Item 5.02 Election of Directors

     On December 29, 2006, the Granite Falls Energy, LLC (“Granite Falls”) board of governors, pursuant to the Granite Falls Fifth Amended and Restated Operating and Member Control Agreement (“Member Control Agreement”), exercised its right to increase the size of the board of governors by establishing two additional board seats. The board of governors has appointed Mr. Ken L. Berg and Mr. Rodney R. Wilkison to fill these two additional seats until the next general election at which time two governors will be elected to fill the additional board seats.

     Prior to Mr. Berg’s appointment to one of the additional board seats, he had been Fagen, Inc.’s appointee to the board of governors. Fagen, Inc. has not yet appointed a replacement governor as provided in the Granite Falls Member Control Agreement. In addition to Mr. Wilkison’s new position as a governor of Granite Falls, Mr. Wilkison, age 52, owns and operates Wilkison Consulting Service of Marshall, Minnesota which deals with financial consulting, tax preparation, and monthly accounting for farmers and small businesses. Mr. Wilkison started his financial consulting business in 1985.

     Mr. Berg and Mr. Wilkison will be compensated in accordance with the Granite Falls compensation policy and therefore will receive a fixed payment for attending board meetings as well as reimbursement for mileage to and from the board meetings. It is anticipated that both Mr. Berg and Mr. Wilkison will be on the Granite Falls compensation, nominating and audit committees.
