Real Estate & Equipment

Construction Started in 2007

With Plans to Add 35 Million Bushel Per Year Soybean Processing Facility

$38 Million Spent To Date

Real Estate Selling in Tracts or as Entirety



Reason for Sale: American Energy Producers, Inc.(AEPI), is a new generation producer cooperative made up of 989 members. The goal was to be 100% owned by agricultural producers. The cooperative raised $35,000,000+ and began construction in order to take advantage of incentives at the time. However, AEPI was unable to obtain additional financing during construction. Work at the site has been halted and members have now voted to put the plant up for sale via Auction. AEPI would consider partnership/ financing opportunities to complete the plant.



The plant is located in Carroll County, which is in the North Central portion of Missouri. It sits between Chillicothe and Carrollton, approximately 9 miles north of Carrollton on Highway 65 and 2 miles Southeast of Tina. Carrollton is approximately a 1 1/2 hour drive NE of Kansas City.

EQUIPMENT REMOVAL SUMMARY: NO REMOVAL ON DAY OF AUCTION! Due to the nature of this facility, one rigging company will be contracted to oversee all removal aspects of this plant. The rigging company will provide a price guideline prior to auction estimating removal costs for each piece of equipment. In addition to paying for the equipment, buyers will also pay for removal costs, which will include the item being removed from the facility and loaded onto a truck/trailer. The rigging company will provide a forklift and removal assistance for all small items based on an hourly fee. A price guideline will be available prior to auction. Small items are those not attached to the real property. Buyers will have 7 days to remove all their small purchases; after this date, all remaining items are subject to forfeiture.
