The Renewable Fuels Association applauded President Trump for strongly reaffirming his support for America’s ethanol industry.
During a stop in Des Moines, Iowa, he called on Congress to send a bill approving year-round E15 to his desk “very quickly.”
Trump said he would sign the bill into law without delay. RFA President and CEO Geoff Cooper said Trump understands the quickest and surest way to boost the farm economy is “to open a vast new market opportunity for grain-based ethanol.”
The Iowa Corn Growers Association also applauded the president, saying they appreciate him for shining a light on E15.
“He recognizes the weight this legislation holds to us as corn growers,” said ICGA President Steve Kuiper. “A recent study by Iowa Corn and the Iowa Renewable Fuels Association shared the positive effects year-round E15 would have on corn growers.”
U.S. corn growers have pushed for year-round access for over ten years.
