The Sartell Paper Mill, officially the Verso Paper Sartell Mill, is a paper mill located in the city of Sartell in the U.S. state of Minnesota. The mill is owned by Verso Paper. On may 29, 2012, there was an explosion at the paper mill that resulted in a large fire. It killed one man and injured 4 others. It took fourteen fire departments to put out the fire. The mill has been around longer than the city of Sartell.

—J.G. (James Graham)
“The miller believes that all the wheat grows so that his mill keeps running.”
