A driving force in the development of Minnesota’s ethanol industry passed away over the weekend. Larry Johnson operated an ethanol consulting business since 1985 and was known as the ‘Ethanol Answer Man.’ Johnson was president of the Minnesota Corn Growers Association in 1985 and spent six years on the National Corn Growers Association board. Johnson, who lived near Cologne, Minnesota, was one of the founders of what has become known as the Minnesota Ethanol Model.
