Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

On December 15, 2011, we executed the Third Amended Management Services Agreement (the "Agreement") with Homeland Energy Solutions, LLC ("HES"). The purpose of the Agreement was to incorporate two prior minor amendments to our management services agreement with HES into one agreement and to make other ministerial amendments. We also reduced the number of shared managers that are covered by the Agreement. Currently, HES shares the management services of our Chief Executive Officer and Human Resources Manager. We share the management services of HES's EPA Compliance Officer. The material terms of the Agreement remain unchanged.
