Soybean plant starts production Dec. 1MILLER, S.D. (AP)--A plant that has been receiving soybeans for almost two months will start processing its products on Dec. 1. Construction of the South Dakota Oil Seed Processing plant east of St. Lawrence in Hand County began in April. It employs 15 people, all but two full-time. The CEO of On Hand Development Corp., of Miller, Mike Trosen, says the plant will make a lightly customizable soybean meal and a food-grade quality soybean oil. He says it will process 4.1 million bushels of soybeans a year into 41 million pounds of oil and 95,000 tons of meal. Forty-three area residents invested $1 million to get the $17.5 million project started. According to Trosen, the original 43 have grown to more than 300 investors representing about 40 communities in the state. 12/8/08 Date: 12/2/08
