VeraSun Energy, a major producer of ethanol and a leader in the establishment of public E85 fueling stations, will be featured on Modern Marvels on The History Channel, this evening at 7:00 p.m. CST.
Modern Marvels is a television program which “celebrates ingenuity, invention and imagination brought to life on a grand scale, tells the fascinating stories of the doers, dreamers and sometime-schemers who created everyday items, technological breakthroughs and man-made wonders.” Modern Marvels spent a full day at VeraSun’s Charles City, Iowa production facility filming and documenting the ethanol production process for a 60-minute show about corn. VeraSun is a member of the National Ethanol Vehicle Coalition and holds a position on the NEVC Board of Directors.
The program will focus on why corn is the largest agricultural crop in the world and has fed the masses from ancient times to this day. Modern Marvels states that corn is not only a vegetable and a cereal grain; it is a commodity as well. The show will visit Lakeside Foods in Reedsburg, Wisconsin and see how tons of corn are harvested and canned within hours. Then the program will feature VeraSun Energy in Charles City, Iowa, to discover how corn is converted into fuel. Modern Marvels will take a look to our past so that it can be understood that without corn we probably would not be here.
