Don Endres lives in South Dakota, but here in Montgomery County, he is going to be a very important neighbor.

Endres is the Chairman and CEO of VeraSun Energy Corporation, which bought the ethanol plant in Linden from ASAlliances Biofuels LLC in August.

It should be an interesting relationship as ethanol production in the United States continues to soar and VeraSun, which is headquartered in Brookings, S.D., continues to grow. Although the long-term future of ethanol as an important, renewable energy source continues to be debated, there is no disputing the fact that ethanol sales have skyrocketed and will continue to do so at least in the short term.
