Located in the heart of Marcus, Iowa, Little Sioux Corn Processors (LSCP) began with a single vision: to add value to the local corn harvest and provide a sustainable fuel source for the nation. Formed in 2000 by forward-thinking investors and local agricultural leaders, we set out to build a facility that would serve our community for generations.
What started as a 40 million gallon facility has grown into 170 million gallons per year.
Since that first railcar left the station in 2003, LSCP has never stopped moving forward. Originally built with a nameplate capacity of 40 million gallons, we have continuously invested in technology and efficiency to maximize our output.
