# Missouri ethanol plants idle back production

> Missouri ethanol plants have idled production by as much as 10% as margins stay tight. Ethanol prices hit a 13-year low of $1.21 per gallon in November 2018, prompting idlings in Nebraska and Minnesota. Missouri's six farmer-owned plants remain operating, helped by market access and local coproduct demand.
