Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Information Segment Information
The Company’s operations include three reportable business segments that are distinguished primarily on the basis of products and services offered as well as the management structure. The Trade business includes commodity merchandising and the operation of terminal grain elevator facilities. The Renewables business produces, purchases and sells ethanol and co-products. The segment also operates a merchandising portfolio of ethanol, ethanol co-products and other biofuels such as renewable diesel feedstocks. The Nutrient & Industrial (formerly Plant Nutrient) business manufactures and distributes plant nutrient products such as agricultural inputs, primarily fertilizers and turf care products along with industrial products such as deicers, dust abatement solutions, and corncob-cased products. The segment was rebranded in 2023 to reflect the portfolio of market offerings in the segment. Other includes corporate income and expense and cost for functions that provide support and services to the operating segments, as well as other elimination and consolidation adjustments.

The segment information below includes the allocation of expenses shared by one or more operating segments. Although management believes such allocations are reasonable, the operating information does not necessarily reflect how such data might appear if the segments were operated as separate businesses. The Company does not have any customers who represent 10 percent, or more, of total revenues.
