Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Principal Activity and Significant Accounting Policies | Principal Activity and Significant Accounting Policies The unaudited condensed financial statements contained herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although South Dakota Soybean Processors, LLC (the “Company”, “LLC”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the accompanying condensed financial statements. The results of operations and cash flows for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year due in part to the seasonal nature of some of the Company’s businesses. The balance sheet data as of December 31, 2019 has been derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2019, included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 18, 2020. Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Revenue The Company accounts for all of its revenues from contracts with customers under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company principally generates revenue from merchandising and transporting manufactured agricultural products used as ingredients in food, feed, energy and industrial products. Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in the contract with a customer, and excludes any amounts collected on behalf of third parties (e.g. - taxes). The Company follows a policy of recognizing revenue at a single point in time when it satisfies its performance obligation by transferring control over a product to a customer. Control transfer typically occurs when goods are shipped from our facilities or at other predetermined control transfer points (for instance, destination terms). Shipping and handling costs related to contracts with customers for sale of goods are accounted for as a fulfillment activity and are included in cost of revenues. Accordingly, amounts billed to customers for such costs are included as a component of revenues. Payments received in advance to the transfer of goods, or "contract liabilities", are included in "Deferred liabilities - current" on the Company's condensed balance sheets. These customer prepayments totaled $24,701 and $313,347 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Of the $313,347 balance as of December 31, 2019, contract liabilities recognized as revenues were $0 and $313,347 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. Of the $15,042 customer prepayments as of December 31, 2018, the Company recognized $0 and $15,042 of contract liabilities as revenues during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. The following table presents a disaggregation of revenue from contracts with customers for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, by product type: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 Soybean meal and hulls $ 63,195,149 $ 57,332,025 $ 187,220,101 $ 181,532,951 Soybean oil and oil byproducts 41,258,967 27,669,354 109,225,520 95,766,824 Totals $ 104,454,116 $ 85,001,379 $ 296,445,621 $ 277,299,775 Recent accounting pronouncements Any recent accounting pronouncements are not expected to have a material impact on our condensed financial statements. |

Investments in Related Parties | Investments in Related Parties The Company accounts for the investments in Prairie AquaTech, LLC, Prairie AquaTech Investments, LLC and Prairie AquaTech Manufacturing, LLC using the fair value method in ASU No. 2016-01 . The Company has elected to utilize the measurement alternative for equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values and measure these investments at their cost less any impairment plus or minus any observable price changes in orderly transactions. Prior to October 2019, the Company accounted for its investment in Prairie AquaTech, LLC using the equity method due to the Company's ability to exercise significant influence based on its board position. The Company recognized losses of $0 and $3,261 during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $0 and $99,489 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, which is included in other non-operating income (expense). In October 2019, the Company ceased the accounting for its investment in Prairie AquaTech, LLC under the equity method, and began accounting for the investment at fair value as a result of its decreased ability to exercise significant influence due to an increased quantity of board positions. On March 27, 2020, the Company invested in Prairie AquaTech Manufacturing, LLC another $404,329 in cash. The Company also agreed to invest into Prairie AquaTech Manufacturing, LLC an additional $500,000 of soybean meal to be used in the entity's operations.

In consideration of this secured loan, the Company agreed to provide a guarantee to the State of South Dakota Department of Transportation for the full amount of the loan, plus interest.

Under the terms of the CARES Act, all or a portion of the PPP Loan may be forgiven.

No assurance is provided that the Company will obtain forgiveness of the PPP Loan in whole or in part.

Operating Leases | Operating Leases The Company has several operating leases for railcars. These leases have terms ranging from 3-18 years and do not have renewal terms provided. The leases require the Company to maintain the condition of the railcars, restrict the use of the railcars to specified products, such as soybean meal, hulls or oil, limit usage to the continental United States, Canada or Mexico, require approval to sublease to other entities, and require the Company's submission of its financial statements. Lease expense for all railcars was $847,671 and $766,022 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $2,371,586 and $2,302,012 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

These leases have terms ranging from 3-7 years; however, most of these leases have automatic renewal terms. These leases require monthly payments of $3,649. Rental expense under these other operating leases was $11,013 and $21,081 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $30,088 and $41,723 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. On March 19, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with an entity in the western United States to provide storage and handling services for the Company's soybean meal. The Company will pay the entity $3,300,000, which is included in current operating lease liabilities on the Company's balance sheet, after the entity's construction of additional storage and handling facilities. The agreement will mature seven years after completion of the construction but includes an additional seven Operating leases are included in right-to-use lease assets, current operating lease liabilities, and long-term lease liabilities on the condensed balance sheets. These assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term using the Company's secured incremental borrowing rates or implicit rates, when readily determinable. Short-term operating leases, which have an initial term of 12 months or less, are not recorded on the condensed balance sheet. Lease expense for these operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities | Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into contractual arrangements as a means of managing exposure to changes in commodity prices and, occasionally, foreign exchange and interest rates. The Company’s derivative instruments primarily consist of commodity futures, options and forward contracts, and interest rate swaps, caps and floors. Although these contracts may be effective economic hedges of specified risks, they are not designated as, nor accounted for, as hedging instruments. These contracts are recorded on the Company’s condensed balance sheets at fair value as discussed in Note 11, Fair Value. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the value of the Company’s open futures, options and forward contracts was approximately $(4,803,532) and $(5,955,928), respectively.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value | Fair Value ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value, establishes a comprehensive framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures which are required about fair value measurements. Specifically, this guidance establishes a hierarchy prioritizing the inputs to valuation techniques, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable value inputs. The three levels of hierarchy and examples are as follows: • Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date. The types of assets and liabilities included in Level 1 are highly liquid and actively traded instruments with quoted prices, such as equities listed on the New York Stock Exchange and commodity derivative contracts listed on the Chicago Board of Trade (“CBOT”). • Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, but are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. The types of assets and liabilities in Level 2 are typically either comparable to actively traded securities or contracts, or priced with models using highly observable inputs, such as commodity prices using forward future prices. • Level 3 – Significant inputs to pricing that are unobservable as of the reporting date. The types of assets and liabilities included in Level 3 are those with inputs requiring significant management judgment or estimation, such as complex and subjective models and forecasts used to determine the fair value of financial transmission rights. The following tables set forth financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the condensed balance sheets and the respective levels to which fair value measurements are classified within the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019: Fair Value as of September 30, 2020 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Financial assets: Inventory $ (4,034,113) $ 72,593,947 $ — $ 68,559,834 Margin deposits (deficits) $ (557,593) $ — $ — $ (557,593) Fair Value as of December 31, 2019 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Financial assets: Inventory $ (5,610,521) $ 49,717,733 $ — $ 44,107,212 Margin deposits $ 6,772,160 $ — $ — $ 6,772,160 The Company enters into various commodity derivative instruments, including futures, options, swaps and other agreements. The fair value of the Company’s commodity derivatives is determined using unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments on the CBOT. The Company estimates the fair market value of their finished goods and raw materials inventories using the market price quotations of similar forward future contracts listed on the CBOT and adjusts for the local market adjustments derived from other grain terminals in our area. This market adjustment caused a negative balance in the Level 1 inventory amount as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The Company considers the carrying amount of significant classes of financial instruments on the balance sheets, including cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable, to be reasonable estimates of fair value due to their length or maturity. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt approximates the carrying value. The interest rates on the long-term debt are similar to rates the Company would be able to obtain currently in the market. The Company has patronage investments in other cooperatives and common and preferred stock holdings in privately held entities. There is no market for their patronage credits or the entity’s common and preferred holdings, and it is impracticable to estimate the fair value of the Company’s investments. These investments are carried on the balance sheet at original cost plus the amount of patronage earnings allocated to the Company, less any cash distributions received. |

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Use of Estimates, Policy | Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Revenue, Policy | Revenue The Company accounts for all of its revenues from contracts with customers under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company principally generates revenue from merchandising and transporting manufactured agricultural products used as ingredients in food, feed, energy and industrial products. Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in the contract with a customer, and excludes any amounts collected on behalf of third parties (e.g. - taxes). The Company follows a policy of recognizing revenue at a single point in time when it satisfies its performance obligation by transferring control over a product to a customer. Control transfer typically occurs when goods are shipped from our facilities or at other predetermined control transfer points (for instance, destination terms). Shipping and handling costs related to contracts with customers for sale of goods are accounted for as a fulfillment activity and are included in cost of revenues. Accordingly, amounts billed to customers for such costs are included as a component of revenues. |
