relate to the offer by us of shares of common stock to certain investors. We provide information to you about this offering of shares of our common stock in two separate documents that are bound together: (1)&nbsp;this prospectus supplement, which

Inc. </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL">Green Plains is an Iowa corporation, founded in June 2004 as a producer of low carbon fuels and has grown to be one of the leading corn processors in the
world. We continue to transform from a commodity-processing business to a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">value-add</FONT> agricultural technology company focused on creating diverse, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-cyclical,</FONT> higher
margin feed ingredients, specialty alcohols and renewable feedstocks. In addition, we are currently undergoing a number of project initiatives to improve our operating margins. Through our Project 24 initiative, we anticipate reductions in operating
expense per gallon across our <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-ICM</FONT> plants through lower chemical use by an estimated 15%, water requirements by an estimated 10% and increased renewable corn oil recovery by an estimated 10%, while also
reducing each of gas and power use by an estimated 20%. United States Pharmacopeia, or USP, upgrades and planned Grain Neutral Spirits, or GNS, upgrades are expected to provide additional improvements to our financial results. Additionally, through
our Ultra-High Protein initiative, we expect to produce various Ultra-High Protein and novel feed ingredients targeting the pet, poultry, aquaculture and dairy industries further increasing margin per gallon. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:9pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL">Additionally, we have taken advantage of opportunities to divest certain assets in recent years to reallocate capital toward our current growth initiatives. We are
focused on generating stable operating margins through our business segments and risk management strategy and expanding our focus on specialty alcohols and high value protein ingredients. We own and operate assets throughout the ethanol value chain:
upstream, with grain handling and storage; through our ethanol production facilities; and downstream, with marketing and distribution services to mitigate commodity price volatility. </P>

accounts managed by BlackRock. The acquisition capitalizes on the core strengths of each company to develop and implement proven, value-added agriculture, food and industrial biotechnology systems and rapidly expand installation and production
across our facilities, as well as offer these technologies to partnering biofuel facilities. We believe the partnership will also help accelerate the installation of Ultra-High Protein technology across Green Plains&#146; platform, amplify our
production capabilities and further expand product offerings to accelerate the growth of Optimal Aquafeed&#146;s precision aquaculture solutions, leveraging previously announced partnerships with Novozymes and Hayashikane. We will look to deploy a

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL">
introduced in the ethanol industry, we believe that ethanol production facilities can increasingly become high-protein feed producers. We began production of Ultra-High Protein in 2020 using
Fluid Quip&#146;s patented Maximized Stillage <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Co-products</FONT> (MSC<SUP STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:top">&#153;</SUP>) and are beginning to deploy this technology at additional locations in an effort to
capture higher <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">co-product</FONT> returns. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:9pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL">The Ultra-High Protein installation at our Wood River plant began during the third
quarter 2020 with shipments expected to begin in the third quarter of 2021. We anticipate that additional locations will be completed over the course of the next several years. Through our Ultra-High Protein initiative, we expect to produce feed
ingredients with protein concentration of 50% or greater, as well as other higher value products, such as <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">post-MSC</FONT><SUP STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:top">&#153;</SUP> distillers grains. As we improve
protein concentration in our feed ingredients, we expect margins on those products to also improve. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:9pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL">We recently announced that development efforts between Green
Plains, Fluid Quip Technologies and other innovation partners have led to the production of 58% sustainable Ultra-High Protein at Green Plains&#146; Shenandoah, Iowa biorefinery. The breakthrough development was achieved using Fluid Quip&#146;s
proprietary MSC<SUP STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:top">&#153;</SUP> Protein technology and improved operating parameters. The company has delivered initial quantities of the new product to its pet food partners for use in formulation and
palatability studies to confirm improved taste and nutritional characteristics. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:4pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL"><I>Clean Sugar Technology </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:2pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL">New growth in clean sugars is being driven by biologic focused companies that use glucose and dextrose as feedstock for their
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">bio-processes.</FONT> We believe this is driving growth in clean sugar demand of 7 to 14&nbsp;billion pounds, increasing total demand to as much as 28&nbsp;billion pounds in 2030. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:9pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL">Fluid Quip is leveraging our York, Neb. Innovation Center to validate and develop technologies, beginning with Fluid Quip&#146;s patented CST system. The Fluid Quip
technology is designed to enable conversion of existing plants at a lower cost than that required to build a new wet mill. The York Innovation Center is comprised of pilot and industrial scale fermentation systems that have been utilized for various
functions including sugar based cellulosic fuel developments, algae production, yeast fermentation processes, as well as antimicrobial scale up for third party customers. An analytics lab allows for rapid testing of process yields and efficiencies.
Additionally, the facility has downstream separation equipment which is ideal for testing enhancements to the CST system, as well as the MSC<SUP STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:top">&#153;</SUP> technology. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:9pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL">We estimate that by converting ethanol capacity to CST we can improve margins. We recently announced that production of dextrose and glucose with Fluid Quip&#146;s CST
system was anticipated to begin at the York Innovation Center during the first quarter of 2021. We estimate that initial quantities from the York Innovation Center could reach approximately 2.5&nbsp;million pounds per year. We anticipate modifying
one or more biorefineries to the CST system, to meet anticipated customer demand. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:9pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL">We believe the CST system will provide industrial quantities of carbohydrate
feedstock for manufacturing applications in the growing biochemical, renewable chemicals and synthetic biology industries at more competitive prices and with a lower carbon intensity than other technologies today, improving overall margins and
profitability. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:4pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL"><I>Specialty Alcohol </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:2pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL">Consumer demand for sanitizers and
disinfectants has vastly accelerated with the ongoing <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> pandemic and heightened awareness of infection prevention. While the pandemic was an initial catalyst for the growing demand for cleaning products
and sanitizers, we believe this demand may continue as a result of the events of the past year, which have impacted how consumers and the industry alike perceive the role and need of cleaning products. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:9pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL">Industrial-grade alcohol is produced by further distillation processing of our <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">200-proof</FONT> alcohol. Further distillation removes
impurities from fuel-grade ethanol to allow for production of industrial-grade alcohol which can be used as an ingredient for various cleaners, sanitation and disinfectant products. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL">Industrial-grade alcohol is currently produced at our Wood River and York facilities, with a portion of our Wood
River biorefinery producing food chemical codex (FCC) grade industrial alcohol and our York biorefinery producing USP. Our York facility is in the process of being upgraded to GNS grade alcohol and will produce USP grade alcohol during construction.
A portion of our Wood River facility is also being upgraded to USP grade alcohol. Upon completion, we expect to have annual capacity of 50&nbsp;million gallons of GNS grade and 25&nbsp;million gallons of USP grade alcohol. Alcohol production will
enable use in both pharmacy grade alcohol and beverage alcohol. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we received premiums over fuel grade biofuel for our industrial alcohol of approximately $1.00 per gallon. </P>

<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-edible</FONT> corn oil from the thin stillage evaporation process immediately before the production of distillers grains. Industrial uses for corn oil include feedstock for renewable diesel, biodiesel and
livestock feed additives. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:9pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL">Our historical systems extract approximately 0.8 pounds of corn oil per bushel of corn ground. As we implement the Fluid Quip MSC<SUP
STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:top">&#153;</SUP> technology and other corn oil recovery enhancements across our platform, we expect to increase our corn oil production. Once these technologies are implemented across our platform, we believe
the increase in our corn oil production capacity could improve by as much as 50%. Moreover, we believe additional technologies available through our Fluid Quip acquisition could further increase yields. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:9pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL">Industry analysts predict a significant shift from petroleum diesel to renewable diesel over the course of the next 10 years. We expect corn oil pricing to increase as
a result of growth in the renewable diesel industry, which could contribute to improved margins, particularly as we roll out the MSC<SUP STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:top">&#153;</SUP> technology across our platform. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:4pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL"><I>Carbon Sequestration </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:4pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL">On February&nbsp;18, 2021, we announced that three of
our biorefineries entered into a long-term carbon offtake agreement with Summit Carbon Solutions (SCS), a subsidiary of Summit Agricultural Group. SCS concurrently announced a carbon capture and sequestration project that will create the
infrastructure to transport CO2 from Iowa to North Dakota for deposit into geologic storage. Capturing and storing carbon is widely viewed as a key technology for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and combatting climate change. With this
announcement, the biorefineries attached to the pipeline can reduce the carbon footprint of their biofuels. In addition, our Ultra-High Protein, renewable corn oil and other sustainable products will become low carbon ingredients for aquaculture,
pet food, dairy and poultry companies and low carbon feedstocks for renewable diesel. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:9pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL">We plan initially to connect our biorefineries at Fairmont, Minn., Fergus
Falls, Minn. and Superior, Iowa, and have the option to expand to additional locations as the pipeline network grows. When completed, SCS is expected to have infrastructure capable of capturing and sequestering 10&nbsp;million tons of carbon dioxide
annually, the equivalent of removing over two million cars from the road each year. By capturing and sequestering the carbon dioxide from our biorefineries, we believe we will be able to reduce our CI score by as much as 50% and position our
renewable fuels for low carbon markets globally. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:9pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL">We have the right to make an investment in SCS to help fund the development of the project and anticipate the
pipeline to begin operation in late 2024. As the pipeline progresses, we have the option to continue our investments in SCS, potentially benefitting from the ownership in the overall pipeline, in addition to the direct biorefinery margin benefits.
SCS will be responsible for pipeline construction, operation, carbon dioxide sequestration and all reporting requirements. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:9pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL">With these various initiatives, we
believe our transformation to the &#147;Biorefinery of the Future&#148; is well underway. At our Shenandoah biorefinery which has the MSC technology, we are achieving, per bushel, biofuel yields at approximately 2.9 gallons, renewable corn oil
yields of approximately 1.0 pounds, Ultra-High Protein of approximately 3.5 pounds, with approximately 11.3 pounds of post MSC dried distillers grains. While considerable work remains to complete the transition, upon full implementation at our
Biorefinery of the Future, our goal is to achieve production per bushel of approximately 2.9 gallons of biofuel and/or industrial </P>

continue to hold the convertible notes. Investors may also implement this type of strategy by entering into swaps on our common stock in lieu of, or in addition to, short selling shares of our common stock. This market activity, or the market&#146;s

solely shares of our common stock to settle the conversion (excluding cash in lieu of delivering fractional shares of our common stock), we must make cash payments in respect of the convertible notes. Any of the cash payments described above could
be significant, and we may not have enough available cash or be able to obtain financing so that we can make such payments when due. If we fail to pay interest on the convertible notes, repurchase the convertible notes when required or deliver the

<P STYLE="margin-top:2pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL">Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">470-20,</FONT> Debt with Conversion and
Other Options (&#147;ASC <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">470-20&#148;),</FONT> an entity must separately account for the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments whose conversion may be settled entirely or partially in cash
(such as the convertible notes we are offering in the concurrent notes offering) in a manner that reflects the issuer&#146;s economic interest cost for <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-convertible</FONT> debt. The liability component of the
convertible notes we are offering may initially be valued at the fair value of a similar debt instrument that does not have an associated equity component and may be reflected as a liability in our consolidated balance sheet. The equity component of
the convertible notes we are offering may be included in the additional <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">paid-in</FONT> capital section of our stockholders&#146; equity on our consolidated balance sheet, and the value of the equity component may be
treated as original issue discount for purposes of accounting for the debt component. This original issue discount maybe amortized to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-cash</FONT> interest expense over the term of the convertible notes, and we
may record a greater amount of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-cash</FONT> interest expense in current periods as a result of this amortization. Accordingly, we may report lower net income in our financial results because ASC <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">470-20</FONT> requires the interest expense associated with the convertible notes to include both the current period&#146;s amortization of the debt discount and the convertible notes&#146; coupon interest, which could
adversely affect our reported or future financial results, the trading price of our common stock and the trading price of the convertible notes. However, in August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board published an Accounting Standards
Update, which we refer to as ASU <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">2020-06,</FONT> eliminating the separate accounting for the debt and equity components as described above. ASU <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">2020-06</FONT> will be effective for <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">SEC-reporting</FONT> entities for fiscal years beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2021 (or, in the case of smaller reporting companies, December&nbsp;15, 2023), including interim periods within those fiscal years. However,
early adoption is permitted in certain circumstances for fiscal years beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. When effective or should we choose to early adopt, we expect the elimination of the
separate accounting described above to reduce the interest expense that we expect to recognize for the convertible notes for accounting purposes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:9pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL">We compute
diluted EPS by dividing net income on an <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">if-converted</FONT> basis, adjusted to add back net interest expense related to the convertible debt instruments, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock

the debt and equity components of convertible notes that, like the convertible notes we are offering in the concurrent notes offering, can be settled partially or fully in cash upon conversion. We expect the initial carrying amount of the debt
component of the convertible notes, which will be reflected as a liability on our balance sheet, may be the fair value of a similar debt instrument that does not have a conversion feature (that is, the present value of the principal and interest
payments on the convertible notes, discounted using an interest rate equal to our cost of capital for straight, unconvertible debt), net of issuance costs attributable to the debt component. The excess of the net proceeds of the convertible notes
over this initial liability carrying amount may be deemed to be the equity component of the convertible notes. We may record the amount of the equity component as an increase to additional <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">paid-in</FONT> capital in
the stockholders&#146; equity section of our balance sheet and as a debt discount on the convertible notes for accounting purposes. This debt discount may be amortized into interest expense over the term of the convertible notes. As a result of this
amortization, the interest expense that we expect to recognize for the convertible notes for accounting purposes may be greater than the cash interest payments we will pay on the convertible notes, which may result in lower reported net income or
larger reported net loss. However, ASU <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">2020-06</FONT> will change the manner in which we reflect the convertible notes in our financial statements. See &#147;Risk Factors&#151;Risks Relating to the Concurrent Notes

<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL">Concurrently with this offering, we are offering, pursuant to a separate prospectus supplement, 2.25% convertible senior notes due 2027, which we refer to as the
convertible notes, in an aggregate principal amount of $200,000,000. We have granted the underwriters of the concurrent notes offering a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">30-day</FONT> option to purchase up to an additional $30,000,000 principal
amount of convertible notes solely to cover over-allotments. We estimate that the net proceeds to us from the concurrent notes offering, if it is consummated, will be approximately $193.4&nbsp;million (or approximately $222.5&nbsp;million if the
underwriters of the concurrent notes offering fully exercise their option to purchase additional convertible notes), after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and our estimated offering expenses. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:9pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL">The completion of this offering is not contingent on the completion of the concurrent notes offering, and the completion of the concurrent notes offering is not
contingent on the completion of this offering. Accordingly, you should not assume that the concurrent notes offering will be consummated on the terms described in this prospectus supplement, if at all, or that we will receive any additional proceeds
from the concurrent notes offering. This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus do not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, any of the convertible notes, or the shares of common stock, if any, issuable
upon conversion of the convertible notes, we are offering in the concurrent notes offering prospectus supplement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:9pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL">The convertible notes will be our senior,
unsecured obligations and will accrue interest at a rate of 2.25% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on March&nbsp;15 and September&nbsp;15 of each year, beginning on September&nbsp;15, 2021. The convertible notes will mature on
March&nbsp;15, 2027, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. Before September&nbsp;15, 2026, noteholders will have the right to convert their convertible notes only upon the occurrence of certain events. From and after September&nbsp;15,
2026, noteholders may convert their convertible notes at any time at their election until the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date. We will settle conversions by paying or delivering, as applicable,
cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, at our election. The initial conversion rate is 31.6202&nbsp;shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of convertible notes, which represents an
initial conversion price of approximately $31.62 per share of common stock. The conversion rate and conversion price will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. If a &#147;make-whole fundamental change&#148; (which will be
defined in the indenture governing the convertible notes to include certain business combination transactions involving us, the delisting of our common stock and the calling of the convertible notes for redemption) occurs, then we will in certain
circumstances increase the conversion rate for a specified period of time. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:9pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL">The convertible notes will be redeemable, in whole and not in part, for cash at our
option at any time on or after March&nbsp;15, 2024, subject to certain conditions. The redemption price will be equal to the principal amount of the convertible notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the
redemption date. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:9pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL">If a &#147;fundamental change&#148; (which will be defined in the indenture governing the convertible notes to include certain <FONT

diligence and reporting requirements in clause (1)&nbsp;above, it must enter into an agreement with the U.S. Department of the Treasury requiring, among other things, that it undertake to identify accounts held by certain &#147;specified United
States persons&#148; or &#147;United States owned foreign entities&#148; (each as defined in the Code), annually report certain information about such accounts, and withhold 30% on certain payments to

underwriters in connection with the offering. Similar to other purchase transactions, the underwriter&#146;s purchases to cover the syndicate short sales may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our common stock or
preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our common stock. As a result, the price of our common stock may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. A penalty bid is an arrangement permitting the

<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL">The SEC encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information so investors can better understand future prospects and make informed investment decisions. As
such, forward-looking statements are included in this report or incorporated by reference to other documents filed with the SEC. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:9pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL">Forward-looking statements are
made in accordance with safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on current expectations which involve a number of risks and uncertainties and do not relate strictly to historical or
current facts, but rather to plans and objectives for future operations. These statements include words such as &#147;anticipate,&#148; &#147;believe,&#148; &#147;continue,&#148; &#147;estimate,&#148; &#147;expect,&#148; &#147;intend,&#148;

business strategy, environment, key trends and benefits of actual or planned acquisitions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:9pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL">Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those expressed
or implied are discussed in this prospectus supplement under &#147;Risk Factors&#148; or incorporated by reference. Specifically, we may experience fluctuations in future operating results due to a number of economic conditions, including:
disruption caused by health epidemics, such as the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> outbreak; competition in the ethanol industry and other industries in which we operate; commodity market risks, including those that may result from
weather conditions; financial market risks; counterparty risks; risks associated with changes to government policy or regulation, including changes to tax laws; risks related to acquisitions and disposition activities and achieving anticipated
results; risks associated with merchant trading; risks related to our equity method investees and other factors detailed in reports filed with the SEC. Additional risks related to Green Plains Partners LP include compliance with commercial
contractual obligations, potential tax consequences related to our investment in the partnership and risks disclosed in the partnership&#146;s SEC filings associated with the operation of the partnership as a separate, publicly traded entity. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:9pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL">We believe our expectations regarding future events are based on reasonable assumptions; however, these assumptions may not be accurate or account for all risks and
uncertainties. Consequently, forward-looking statements are not guaranteed. Actual results may vary materially from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements. In addition, we are not obligated and do not intend to update our
forward-looking statements as a result of new information unless it is required by applicable securities laws. We caution investors not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which represent management&#146;s views as of the date of
this report or documents incorporated by reference. </P>

ended December&nbsp;31, 2020, and management&#146;s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December&nbsp;31, 2020, have been incorporated by reference herein in reliance upon the reports of KPMG LLP,
independent registered public accounting firm, incorporated by reference herein, and upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing. The audit report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of
December&nbsp;31, 2020 contains an explanatory paragraph that states that the Company completed the acquisition of Fluid Quip Technologies, LLC in 2020, and management excluded from its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company&#146;s internal
control over financial reporting as of December&nbsp;31, 2020, Fluid Quip Technologies, LLC&#146;s internal control over financial reporting associated with approximately 3% of the Company&#146;s consolidated total assets and approximately 0% of the
Company&#146;s consolidated total revenues as of and for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2020. The audit of internal control over financial reporting of the Company also excluded an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of
Fluid Quip Technologies, LLC. The audit report covering the December&nbsp;31, 2020 consolidated financial statements refers to a change in the Company&#146;s method of accounting for leases in 2019 due to the adoption of&nbsp;ASC Topic

<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL">The SEC encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information so that investors can better understand a company&#146;s future prospects and make informed
investment decisions. This prospectus contains such &#147;forward-looking statements&#148; within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements may be made directly in this prospectus, and they may also be
made a part of this prospectus by reference to other documents filed with the SEC, which is known as &#147;incorporation by reference.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:9pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL">This prospectus
contains forward-looking statements based on current expectations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. These statements are based on current expectations which involve a number of risks and uncertainties and do not relate strictly to
historical or current facts, but rather to plans and objectives for future operations. These statements include words such as &#147;anticipate,&#148; &#147;believe,&#148; &#147;continue,&#148; &#147;estimate,&#148; &#147;expect,&#148;
&#147;intend,&#148; &#147;outlook,&#148; &#147;plan,&#148; &#147;predict,&#148; &#147;may,&#148; &#147;could,&#148; &#147;should,&#148; &#147;will&#148; and similar words and phrases as well as statements regarding future operating or financial
performance or guidance, business strategy, environment, key trends and benefits of actual or planned acquisitions. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances,
including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are made in accordance with safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Although we believe our expectations
regarding future events are based on reasonable assumptions, any or all forward-looking statements in this prospectus may be based on inaccurate assumptions or not account for known or unknown risks and uncertainties, and therefore, be incorrect.
Consequently, no forward-looking statement is guaranteed, and actual future results may vary materially from the results expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements. The cautionary statements in this prospectus expressly qualify all of
our forward-looking statements. In addition, we are not obligated, and do not intend, to update any of our forward-looking statements at any time unless an update is required by applicable securities laws. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:9pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL">Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those discussed in
Part I, Item 1A &#150; Risk Factors of our annual report on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-K</FONT> for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2020. Specifically, we may experience fluctuations in future operating results due to a number of
economic conditions, including: disruption caused by health epidemics, such as the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> outbreak; competition in the ethanol industry and other industries in which we operate; commodity market risks,
including those that may result from weather conditions; financial market risks; counterparty risks; risks associated with changes to government policy or regulation, including changes to tax laws; risks related to acquisitions and disposition
activities and achieving anticipated results; risks associated with merchant trading; risks related to our equity method investees and other factors detailed in reports filed with the SEC. Additional risks related to Green Plains Partners LP include
compliance with commercial contractual obligations, potential tax consequences related to our investment in the partnership and risks disclosed in the partnership&#146;s SEC filings associated with the operation of the partnership as a separate,
publicly traded entity. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:9pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL">In light of these assumptions, risks and uncertainties, the results and events discussed in the forward-looking statements contained in
this prospectus or any document incorporated by reference might not occur. We caution investors not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which represent management&#146;s views only as of the date of this prospectus or
documents incorporated by reference. We are not under any obligation, and we expressly disclaim any obligation, to update or alter any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL">References to &#147;we,&#148; &#147;us,&#148; &#147;our,&#148; &#147;Green Plains,&#148; or the &#147;company&#148; refer to Green Plains Inc. and its subsidiaries.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:9pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL">Green Plains is an Iowa corporation, founded in June 2004 as a producer of low carbon fuels and has grown to be one of the leading corn processors in the world. We
continue the transition from a commodity-processing business to a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">value-add</FONT> agricultural technology company focusing on creating additional diverse, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-cyclical,</FONT> higher
margin feed ingredients, specialty alcohols and renewable feedstocks for the emerging renewable diesel industry. In addition, we are currently undergoing a number of project initiatives to improve our operating margins. Through our Project 24
initiative, we anticipate reductions in operating expense per gallon across our <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-ICM</FONT> plants. USP upgrades and planned GNS upgrades are expected to provide additional improvements to our financial results.
Additionally, through our Ultra-High Protein initiative, we expect to produce various Ultra-High Protein and novel feed ingredients targeting the pet, dairy and aquaculture industries further increasing margin per gallon. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:9pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL">We recently completed the purchase of a majority interest in Fluid Quip Technologies, LLC. The acquisition capitalizes on the core strengths of each company to develop
and implement proven, value-added agriculture, food and industrial biotechnology systems and rapidly expand installation and production across Green Plains facilities, as well as offer these technologies to partnering biofuel facilities. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:9pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL">Additionally, we have taken advantage of opportunities to divest certain assets in recent years to reallocate capital toward our current growth initiatives. We are
focused on generating stable operating margins through our business segments and risk management strategy and expanding our focus on specialty alcohols and high value protein ingredients. We own and operate assets throughout the ethanol value chain:
upstream, with grain handling and storage; through our ethanol production facilities; and downstream, with marketing and distribution services to mitigate commodity price volatility. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:9pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL">We formed Green Plains Partners LP, a master limited partnership, to be our primary downstream storage and logistics provider since its assets are the principal method
of storing and delivering the ethanol we produce. The partnership completed its initial public offering on July&nbsp;1, 2015. As of December&nbsp;31, 2020, we own a 48.9% limited partner interest, a 2.0% general partner interest and all of the
partnership&#146;s incentive distribution rights. The public owns the remaining 49.1% limited partner interest. The partnership is consolidated in our financial statements. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:9pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL">We group our business activities into the following four operating segments to manage performance: </P>

(1)&nbsp;Iowa law, (2)&nbsp;our Articles and (3)&nbsp;our Bylaws, discussed below could discourage or make it more difficult to accomplish a proxy contest or other change in our management or the acquisition of control by a holder of a substantial
amount of our voting stock. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish, or could deter, transactions that shareholders may otherwise consider to be in their best interests or in our best interests. These
provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of our board of directors and in the policies formulated by the board of directors and to discourage certain types of transactions that may involve an
actual or threatened change of control of us. These provisions are designed to reduce our vulnerability to an unsolicited acquisition proposal. The provisions also are intended to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights. Such
provisions also may have the effect of preventing changes in our management. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:9pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL"><I>Iowa Statutory Business Combinations Provision. </I>We are subject to the
anti-takeover provisions of Section&nbsp;490.1110 of the Iowa Business Corporation Act. In general, Section&nbsp;490.1110 prohibits a publicly-held Iowa corporation from engaging in a &#147;business combination&#148; with an &#147;interested
shareholder&#148; for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested shareholder, unless the business combination is, or the transaction in which the person became an interested shareholder was,
approved in a prescribed manner or another prescribed exception applies. For purposes of Section&nbsp;490.1110, a &#147;business combination&#148; is defined broadly to include a merger, asset sale or other transaction resulting in a financial
benefit to the interested shareholder, and, subject to certain exceptions, an &#147;interested shareholder&#148; is a person who, together with his or her affiliates and associates, owns (or within three years prior, did own) 10% or more of the
corporation&#146;s voting stock. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL"><I>Classified Board of Directors; Removal of Directors for Cause. </I>Our Articles and Bylaws provide that our board of
directors is divided into three classes, each serving staggered three-year terms ending at the annual meeting of our shareholders. All directors elected to our classified board of directors will serve until the election and qualification of their
respective successors or their earlier resignation or removal. The board of directors is authorized to create new directorships and to fill such positions so created and is permitted to specify the class to which any such new position is assigned.
The person filling such position would serve for the term applicable to that class. The board of directors (or its remaining members, even if less than a quorum) is also empowered to fill vacancies on the board of directors occurring for any reason
for the remainder of the term of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred. Members of the board of directors may only be removed for cause and only by the affirmative vote of 66 2/3% of our outstanding voting stock. These provisions are
likely to increase the time required for shareholders to change the composition of the board of directors. For example, in general, at least two annual meetings will be necessary for shareholders to effect a change in a majority of the members of
the board of directors. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:9pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL"><I>Advance Notice Provisions for Shareholder Proposals and Shareholder Nominations of Directors</I>. Our Bylaws provide that, for
nominations to the board of directors or for other business to be properly brought by a shareholder before a meeting of shareholders, the shareholder must first have given timely notice of the proposal in writing to our Secretary. A
shareholder&#146;s notice generally must be delivered not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">one-year</FONT> anniversary of the preceding year&#146;s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the
event of a special meeting or the date of the annual meeting is advanced by more than 30 days or delayed by more than 30 days from the anniversary of the previous year&#146;s annual meeting, notice by the shareholder to be timely must be received by
the company&nbsp;not earlier than the close of business on the 90th day prior to such meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 60th day prior to such meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public disclosure of
the date of such meeting is first made. Detailed requirements as to the form of the notice and information included in the notice are specified in the Bylaws. If it is determined that business was not properly brought before a meeting in accordance
with our bylaw provisions, such business will not be conducted at the meeting. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:9pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL"><I>Special Meetings of Shareholders. </I>Special meetings of the shareholders may be
called only by our Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President, the Board of Directors, or as otherwise allowed under the Iowa Business Corporation Act. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:9pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL"><I>No Shareholder Action by Written Consent. </I>Our Bylaws do not permit our shareholders to act by written consent, except where otherwise required by the Iowa
Business Corporation Act. As a result, any action to be effected by our shareholders must be effected at a duly called Annual or Special Meeting of Shareholders. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:9pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL"><I>Super-Majority Shareholder Vote Required for Certain Actions. </I>The Iowa Business Corporation Act provides generally that the affirmative vote of a majority of the
shares entitled to vote on any matter is required to amend a corporation&#146;s articles of incorporation or bylaws, unless the corporation&#146;s articles of incorporation or bylaws, as the case may be, requires a greater percentage. An affirmative
vote of 66 2/3% of our outstanding voting stock is required for any amendment to, or repeal of, our Bylaws by the shareholders. Our Bylaws may be amended or repealed by a simple majority vote of the board of directors. </P>

the securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions described above. The securities may be either offered to the public through underwriting syndicates represented
by managing underwriters, or directly by underwriters. Generally, the underwriters&#146; obligations to purchase the securities will be subject to conditions precedent and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the securities if they
purchase any of the securities. We may use underwriters with whom we have a material relationship. We will describe in the prospectus supplement, naming the underwriter, the nature of any such relationship. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:9pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL">We may authorize underwriters, dealers or agents to solicit offers by certain purchasers to purchase the securities from us at the public offering price set forth in
the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The contracts will be subject only to those conditions set forth in the prospectus supplement, and the prospectus
supplement will set forth any commissions we pay for solicitation of these contracts. We may engage in at the market offerings into an existing trading market in accordance with Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act.</P>

third party may use securities pledged by us or borrowed from us or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use securities received from us in settlement of those derivatives to close out any
related open borrowings of stock. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement or in a post-effective amendment. </P>

holders, us or our purchasers, as their agents in connection with the sale of securities. These underwriters, dealers or agents may be considered to be underwriters under the Securities Act. As a result, discounts, commissions or profits on resale
received by the underwriters, dealers or agents may be treated as underwriting discounts and commissions. The prospectus supplement will identify any such underwriter, dealer or agent and describe any compensation received by them from us. Any
initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">re-allowed</FONT> or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:9pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL">Unless otherwise specified in the related prospectus supplement, all securities we offer, other than common stock, will be new issues of securities with no established
trading market. Any underwriter may make a market in these securities, but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. Any common stock sold pursuant to a prospectus supplement will be listed for
trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market or other principal market for our common stock. We may apply to list warrants or debt securities on an exchange, but we are not obligated to do so. Therefore, there may not be liquidity or a trading market for any
series of securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:9pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:ARIAL">Any underwriter may engage in over-allotment transactions, stabilizing transactions, short-covering transactions and penalty bids in
accordance with Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the &#147;Exchange Act&#148;). Over-allotment involves sales in excess of the offering size, which create a short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to
purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum. Short covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution is completed to cover short positions.
Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the securities originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a covering transaction to cover short positions. Those activities may cause the price of the
securities to be higher than it would otherwise be. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue any of the activities at any time. We make no representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that such transactions may
have on the price of the securities. For a description of these activities, see the information under the heading &#147;Underwriting&#148; or &#147;Plan of Distribution&#148; in the applicable prospectus supplement. </P>

control over financial reporting as of December&nbsp;31, 2020, Fluid Quip Technologies, LLC&#146;s internal control over financial reporting associated with approximately 3% of the Company&#146;s consolidated total assets and approximately 0% of the
