Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block] | Note 15. Segment Reporting The Company has one reportable segment, ethanol and by-products. Within the ethanol and by-products segment, the Company has equity investments in three ethanol limited liability companies, two of which are majority ownership interests and are consolidated in the financial statements presented. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current segment reporting. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the members of the Executive Committee, consisting of the Executive Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer. The chief operating decision maker uses net income generated from operating segments in determining the allocation of resources and making assessment of Company performance. In applying the criteria set forth in ASC 280, the Company determined that based on the nature of the products and production process and the expected financial results, the Company’s operations at its ethanol plants are aggregated into one reporting segment, each of which is reviewed in the same manner by the chief operating decision maker. Aggregation into one reporting segment is appropriate based upon the similarity of economic characteristics of the operating segments, including the markets for identical revenue sources and the primary input, corn. The plants in all locations operate in a similar manner to produce ethanol and by-products. The types of customers and how the products are distributed to the customers are similar across each operating entity, consisting of a combination of rail and truck shipments. Finally, the regulatory environment is largely impacted by guidance from the federal level, impacting each operating segment the same. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets. The following tables set forth certain financial data for the Company’s reportable segment for the three- and six-month periods ended July 31, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands):
