Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On January 17, 2006, Granite Falls Energy, LLC (“Granite Falls”) disclosed that it had received a Notice of Violation from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (“MPCA”) notifying Granite Falls of alleged violations discovered by the MPCA staff during its inspection of the plant in August 2006 and relating to permit amendments filed by Granite Falls that same month. On May 29, 2007, Granite Falls met with the MPCA to discuss resolution of the alleged violations through a stipulation agreement with the MPCA. The draft stipulation agreement proposed by the MPCA included a change for an “economic benefit” related to the alleged overproduction of ethanol. However, neither the stipulation agreement nor the proposed charge have been agreed to and Granite Falls is currently in the process of further negotiating the stipulation agreement and any associated costs.

Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the information set forth herein shall not be deemed to be filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
