Six seed industry giants have formed a coalition to help clean up millions of pounds of contaminated seed and liquid waste produced by a Nebraska ethanol plant. A representative for one of those companies says “Nothing anybody can say is going to make the current situation okay. A lot of things went wrong.”
Mark Bowers with Bayer tells Brownfield the company sent treated seed for disposal to the AltEn ethanol plant under contractual obligations that the plant would dispose of the seed within environmental standards.
