11. Agreements | Working Capital Arrangement. In May 2013 we extended the annual Grain Procurement and Working Capital Agreement with J.D. Heiskell that has been in place since March 2011. Pursuant to the agreement we agreed to procure whole yellow corn and grain sorghum (also called “milo”) from J.D. Heiskell. We have the ability to obtain grain from other sources subject to certain conditions, however, in the past all of our grain purchases have been from Heiskell. Title and risk of loss of the corn pass to the Company when the corn is deposited into the weigh bin. The term of the Agreement expires on December 31, 2014 and is automatically renewed for additional one-year terms. Heiskell further agrees to sell all ethanol to Kinergy Marketing or other marketing purchaser designated by the Company and all WDG and syrup to A.L. Gilbert. These agreements are ordinary purchase and sale agency agreements for an ethanol plant. The J.D. Heiskell sales activity associated with the Purchasing Agreement, Grain Procurement and Working Capital Agreements during the three months ending March 31, 2014 as follows:
