Please plan on attending if you have received a letter from VeraSun.

Hundreds of growers across the state of South Dakota and thousands across the nation have received letters from a law firm asking for the repayment of funds due to a VeraSun bankruptcy preference. First things first, you must respond. DO NOT IGNORE THE LETTER! Contact an attorney. If you have received a letter, you have until September 30^th to respond. Do not wait, South Dakota Corn recommends that you promptly contact an attorney. The worst thing you can do is not respond or send a large check for something you may not be responsible for.

The National Corn Growers Association has put together a response guide for producers. Click for link.
