Item 1.03 Bankruptcy or Receivership

On October 30, 2009, Otter Tail Ag Enterprises, LLC (the “Debtor” or the “Company”) filed a voluntary petition for relief in the United States Bankruptcy Court, District of Minnesota (the “Bankruptcy Court”) under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (the “Code”). The Debtor’s negotiated Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, In re: Otter Tail AG Enterprises, LLC, was done with the approval of its senior lenders.

Under Chapter 11, certain claims in existence prior to the Debtor’s filing of the petition for relief under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code are stayed while the Debtor continues business operations as a debtor-in-possession. The Debtor will continue to operate its business as debtor-in-possession under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Code.

While no trustee, examiner, or official committee has been appointed, there can be no assurance that the Debtor will remain in possession of its assets and control of its business as debtor-in-possession and that a trustee will not be appointed to operate the business of the Debtor. The Debtor’s business relationships and arrangements, and its ability to negotiate future business agreements or arrangements may be affected negatively by its bankruptcy filing. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Debtor will successfully emerge from Chapter 11 protection, or will emerge with the ability to continue its business in the same manner in which it operated prior to the bankruptcy filing.

A copy of the news release, dated October 31, 2009, announcing the bankruptcy filing is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.04. Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.

The Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing described in Item 1.03 above constitutes an event of default under the Company’s master loan agreement with Agstar Financial Services, PCA, its construction and term loan agreement with MMCDC New Markets Fund II, LLC (collectively, the parties are the “Secured Creditors”), and its capital lease with Otter Tail County, Fergus Falls, Minnesota (the “County”). On October 30, 2009 all obligations under the aforementioned agreements became automatically and immediately due and payable. However, the ability of the Secured Creditors and County to seek remedies to enforce their rights under the agreements is automatically stayed as a result of the filing of the Chapter 11 petition. The automatic stay invoked by the filing of the Chapter 11 petition effectively precludes any actions by the Company’s Secured Creditors and County to collect, assert, or recover a claim against the Debtor, subject to the applicable provisions of the Code and orders granted by the Bankruptcy Court.
