bio fuels and the serendipity of Google

While googling for information on the Lawrenceburg distillery, I found an entry for Iroquois Bio-Energy.

What does anyone know about Iroquois Bio-Energy besides it is running a plant in Indiana? Here is a filing with the SEC from 2002, their webpage does not appear updated since 2005, and this from Yahoo Financial:
Corn can give you meal, muffins, bread, fritters, tortillas, and succotash. So why not fuel, too? Iroquois Bio-Energy (IBEC) operates a dry-mill ethanol production plant in Indiana for the manufacture of ethanol as a fuel. The company will also sell distillers grains and carbon dioxide, both of which are byproducts of the ethanol manufacturing process. In 2007 Australian investment firm Babcock & Brown agreed to acquire IBEC. The company is Babcock & Brown's fourth purchase of an ethanol facility since 2006.
Today's Marion Chronicle-Tribune has a report today on Central Indiana Ethanol:

With 400,000 bushels of corn received, Central Indiana Ethanol officials say they'll be ready to start the process of turning grain into ethanol by mid-July.

The 45-acre site, 2955 W. Delphi Pike, has been under construction since November 2005. General Manager Mitch Miller said workers are filling the 250,000-gallon fire protection tank at the plant and are preparing to fill the fermentation tanks with water.
