Rural Leaders Petition President Trump To Uphold Biofuel Promise

November 5, 2019 – A broad coalition of biofuel and farm advocates have sent a letter to the White House this week calling on President Trump to fix a flawed proposal from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which “fails in its mission to reinvigorate farm economies and reopen biofuel plants across America’s heartland.” The letter was signed by 60 organizations, including Illinois Soybean Growers. It notes that the EPA’s draft plan undermines the administration’s commitment to restore integrity to the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) and accurately account for biofuel demand destroyed by Small Refinery Exemptions (SREs).

 

“The flawed proposal swaps out a critical component of the SRE remedy sought by farmers and the biofuels industry,” wrote farm and biofuel leaders.

We took the Case IH 470 Quadtrac out and went straight into the stalks. Now, the big question is—how will it yield come fall? Stick around to see if this gamble pays off
