No Money To Be Paid Back

The Colorado Corn Growers Association says corn growers will not have to repay the money from corn sold in 2008 to bankrupt ethanol producer VeraSun. A news release from the association said attorneys for VeraSun are dropping their claims for payment. National Corn Growers Association President Darrin Ihnen said its very good news when growers are trying to bring crops in. He said growers are glad that lawyers realized there was no legal justification for going after corn growers.
