ICGA Appreciates Summer E15 Waiver, But Pushes for Permanent Fix

Earlier today, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin announced a temporary emergency waiver allowing the sale of nationwide E15 during the 2026 summer months. Effective May 1, the waiver aims to prevent fuel supply disruptions while providing Americans with lower-cost options at the pump.
Iowa Corn Growers Association President Mark Mueller, who farms in Waverly, Iowa, released the following statement:
"The announcement of the summer-time waiver for E15 is a positive move in the right direction, and ICGA appreciates President Trump and Administrator Zeldin for hearing the needs of Iowa corn farmers and drivers. But the waiver is strictly a bandage, and we need Congress to provide a permanent fix with passage of nationwide, year-round E15. Corn farmers need increased domestic demand, and consumers need relief at the pump. The time is now for Congress to get this issue across the finish line.
"Additionally, ICGA appreciates Iowa Governor Reynolds for leading a letter with six other Midwest Governors calling for the emergency waiver, which was then followed by a similar letter from renewable fuels trade groups supporting the request. Governor Reynolds continues to champion Iowa ethanol, and corn growers remain appreciative."
