" Higher corn prices, 40 jobs cited benefits of ethanol plant - Possible benefits of the ethanol plant coming to Hensall were discussed at a recent meeting in the village. They include: • Higher corn prices "Experience has told us that a plant will boost the local basis for corn by at least 10 -cents per bushel. Our analysis shows us that the increase to the local basis could be higher than 10 cents," states information on the GreenField Hensall web- site. Baker says it is in nobody's interest to have corn prices stay low because "If you guys aren't growing corn we're out of business." Wagner foresees a swing from wheat to corn acres, which will get rid of the "phe- nomenal" cost of exporting. • Jobs Permanent jobs once the plant is operational will total 40, with spinoff jobs created in trucking and maintenance. Construction, which is set to begin this fall, will create 150 jobs lasting about 18 months. Baker says•work will be available to all, with an emphasis on local outsourc- ing. • Money to the community Baker says the .120 million investment, new jobs and 40 million spent each year "tends to add value to the community, period." :- He points to increased sales for local stores and business- es as new money flows through the community. • Railway Baker says the company could ship grain, oil and dry distillers grain on the rail line. GreenField entered into •a confidentiality agreement with the railway, but says they were assured the rail will be viable for the next 50 years, staying operational and at least in the same con- , dition, slowly getting better. "My sense is we're not going to see a major upgrade of that railway," he says. U-HauI truck stolen from Vanastra company A U -Haul trailer was stolen sometime overnight on July 22 from the Great Canadian Solid Wood Furniture Company at 7th Ave., Vanastra, reports the Huron OPP. The owner returned to the business to find the 2004 four -foot by eight -foot orange and white utility trailer had been stolen. Its serial number is 14HU081094TUV4932. Tractor pullers' association puts on 'heck of a show,' says organizer From Page 1 dealerships who lent equipment for the event. "Anyone who wants to help volunteer, we could use more volunteers for next year," he says, adding he hopes to get permission to hold the event again. "Knock on wood, we can do this again. I don't see why we can't keep changing things so it can be a different pull next year," says Fritzley, adding the committee has given. it the go-ahead for next year. "We wanted to put a pull on to have some- thing different for people to see," he says. The Agricultural Society also made a dona- tion to the foodbank after the tractor pull. J
