Earlier today, President Donald Trump specifically called out and supported efforts to pass nationwide, year-round E15, promising to sign the legislation "without delay" once it reaches his desk.
Iowa Corn Growers Association Vice President and farmer from Knoxville, Iowa, Steve Kuiper, released the following statement:
"Iowa's corn growers appreciate President Trump shining light on E15 and recognizing the weight this legislation holds to us as corn growers. Farmers are struggling with low commodity prices, high input costs and lack of markets. Passage of year-round E15 is the lifeline many of us need to be able to continue farming.
"A recent study by Iowa Corn and the Iowa Renewable Fuels Association shared the positive effects year-round E15 would mean for corn growers. This is a goal we have been working towards for over a decade and getting this issue to the president's desk and across the finish line is a win we all desperately need. The fact that the President sees this problem and promises a solution is coming is very encouraging and valued by us as farmers."
