Item 8.01 Other Events
 
On January 15, 2013, the Company took the strategic step to idle corn grinding and ethanol production activities at its Keyes, California plant due to the current unfavorable market conditions for corn ethanol production while it undertakes efforts expected to result in the restart of the plant as an advanced biofuel producer.  This action is in keeping with the Company’s plan to move to advanced biofuel feedstocks and inputs using a recently approved milo/biogas EPA pathway for a significant portion of its operational capacity.
