Maybe I should dump the corn I have in storage before it gets worse?

JEFFERSON, Wis. -- The company that runs Wisconsin's biggest ethanol plant has filed for bankruptcy reorganization.

But Renew Energy LLC Chief Executive Officer Jeff White said the company hopes to come out of bankruptcy around the middle of the year after reorganizing its balance sheet, possibly through a sale. He said the plan is to continue operations at current levels to keep the business attractive to potential investors or acquirers.

The Renew Energy plant started operations in January 2008.

Jefferson County Economic Development Consortium executive director Dennis Heling said the plant got caught in a situation of rising corn prices and a falling market for ethanol.

White said the Chapter 11 filing last Friday does not affect a sister plant, Utica Energy LLC.

One of the differences between capitalism and other systems is that correct decisions are rewarded and others fail. Maybe, the rewarded can then go on to more successes and the others will have a chance to figure out what they did wrong. The looser can do some more thinking before trying again. Seems to me that the ethanol plant investors, may have much in common with those who thought that Bernie Madoff was their answer.

Some marketers claim corn prices will go up in the spring. The local ethanol plant by me is in chapter 11 and on 'hot idle' with all employees still employed but sitting around doing nothing. It's going on the auction block in mid-march with the bidding ending the end of march. We are real anxious to find out what the outcome will be. Wanna buy and ethanol plant? I'm betting it'll go cheap. Ten cents on the dollar.Jim
