National Farmers Union President Rob Larew reacted after Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin decided to uphold the April 28, 2025, implementation date for year-round ethanol sales in the Midwest. “Administrator Zeldin’s announcement is a welcome reassurance to corn growers and producers in the Midwest,” said Larew. “Expanding access to E15 year-round strengthens the American biofuels economy, giving farmers new market opportunities while delivering lower fuel costs and greater choice for consumers at the pumps.” Family farmers and ranchers outside the Midwest also look for federal guidance to build year-long markets for E15 and higher blends like E30. He also said NFU was proud to support the Nationwide Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act that was reintroduced in the Senate and the House. “We urge Congress to act swiftly to pass this critical legislation, ensuring stronger, more reliable biofuels markets and a more sustainable future for rural communities.
