Statement by Steve Nelson, President, Regarding Year-Round Sale of E15 Ethanol
LINCOLN, NEB. – “We appreciate President Trump’s actions today to direct the Environmental Protection Agency to implement the year-round sale of E15 Ethanol. Nebraska is not only a major corn producing state, but a major ethanol producer. Nebraska Farm Bureau continues to support all opportunities that expand markets for our Nebraska grown grains, in both the domestic and international marketplace. Expanded sale of E15 ethanol will not only benefit Nebraska farmers, but our state’s economy, and consumers looking for greater access to cleaner burning, homegrown biofuels.”
The Nebraska Farm Bureau is grassroots, state-wide organization dedicated to supporting farm and ranch families and working for the benefit of all Nebraskans through a wide variety of educational, service and advocacy efforts. More than 61,000 families across Nebraska are Farm Bureau members, working together to achieve rural and urban prosperity as agriculture is a key fuel to Nebraska’s economy.
