From what I understand this was originally a state of the art rice mill. Then the head of dept of agriculture built this place with prison labor and embezzled the funds. Now a private firm bought the place to turn it into a distillery. Some disaster wasting 70-80 mill of state funds.

Sounds like they are getting some good backing by the locals.

Well apparently they've sucked up my molasses source. Called today and they don't have any and don't plan on selling anymore!
