What a difference a year makes in Janesville, MN

The giant ethanol plant in Janesville, MN is now the largest private employer in town, according to this recent article. The plant, once part of the bankrupt VeraSun organization, was closed before it ever began production and was often cited in the national media as an example of the "failure" of biofuels. The plant reopened in October 2009 under the new ownership by local farmers and investors.
