National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) Chairman Ron Litterer is leading an ad-hoc committee of corn growers to represent the interests of the U.S. corn industry in the bankruptcy proceedings of VeraSun, an ethanol producer. Litterer and others have filed a formal objection with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware regarding the proposed disposition of corn contracts by VeraSun Energy Corporation.

Litterer, a corn grower from Greene, Iowa, has an outstanding contract to deliver corn to VeraSun. He filed the objection with and on behalf of corn growers in at least seven other states that have similar situations and are concerned with VeraSun’s proposed procedures to reject outstanding contracts.
