Corn Farmers Applaud Reintroduction of Next Generation Fuels Act in House of Representatives

By Lindsay Mitchell

Today, the Next Generation Fuels Act was reintroduced in the U.S. House of Representatives. The bill will provide cleaner fuels through higher blends of ethanol for a new generation of vehicles that will be optimized to run on higher-octane fuel.

ICGA President Matt Rush, a farmer from Fairfield, said:

“We celebrated the Senate introduction of the bill last week when we were lucky enough to be talking with our Illinois Senators in their offices in Washington, DC. Today, again, we are celebrating the leadership of the members of our Illinois delegation that are showing their support for Illinois farmers, Illinois rural communities, cleaner air, and domestic fuel.
