Judge OKs Ace Ethanol’s purchase of Utica Energy in Wisconsin

In Wisconsin, a Winnebago county judge has approved Ace Ethanol’s purchase of the Utica Energy ethanol plant in Oshkosh for $16.5 million. If shareholders agree to the purchase later in the month, production could ramp back up at the 50 million gallon plant by harvest time when it will be re-named Fox River Valley Ethanol.
