Dear member,

We cordially invite you to attend one of the upcoming regional informational meetings for the members of South Dakota Soybean Processors. The purpose of the meetings is to present information and answer questions regarding the proposed reorganization of South Dakota Soybean Processors from a cooperative into a limited liability company.

The dates and locations of the regional meetings are listed on the enclosed schedule. All meetings are at 1:30 p.m., with the exception of the February 4 meeting to be held in Watertown, SD at 10:00 a.m. Please check the enclosed calendar for the meeting nearest you. You may attend any meeting, and are not restricted to only those held in your district.

We expect to hold the special meeting to vote on the reorganization in late March and, if approved, it will be effective on April 1, 2002. Later in February or early March you will be receiving an information packet including a detailed prospectus, notice of a special meeting, and a ballot for your vote. You should read that information carefully in determining how to vote. A preliminary form of the prospectus is available for free on the internet at www.sec.gov and will be available at the meetings. This letter does not constitute an offer of any securities for sale.

The primary reason for the reorganization is to avoid double taxation of non-patronage income from our operations and investments so that we can maximize potential dividend payments to our members.

Please plan to attend one of the regional meetings near you to learn more about the reorganization, and the possible tax implications to both the cooperative and the members.

Sincerely,

South Dakota Soybean Processors
