traded company, Aventine filed for bankruptcy in 2009 and emerged as privately held in 2010.
Aventine's sugar-fueled profits have come at the price of intensifying a long-running dispute with the Nebraska farmers' coop.
When Aventine booked delivery of the sugar to the Nebraska plant in February, the farmers' cooperative sued. The coop owns the railroad tracks serving the plant, and Aventine had no right to use the tracks for any feedstock except corn bought from the coop, the lawsuit claims.
