52. Sen. Deb Fischer: Revving the Engine on Year-Round E15
Corn growers may have their best opportunity yet to advance legislation that would allow the year-round sale of 15% ethanol fuel blends, also known as E15 or Unleaded 88.
Such a move would stoke demand for corn and support growers who are battling stagnant corn prices and spiking input costs.
Nebraska Senator Deb Fischer and her co-sponsors have reintroduced an E15 bill, which has broad bipartisan support. Nearly 9,000 corn growers and advocates from 47 states even sent a letter to House and Senate leadership this week calling for action on the measure.
But the work is not done, and growers nationwide need to rally to the cause in order to make year-round E15 a reality.
In this episode of the Cobcast, we’re joined by Sen. Fischer herself to discuss the importance of E15 legislation for corn farmers and the agricultural economy.
Along with NCGA CEO Neil Caskey, she spotlights the coalition of support for the bill, the benefits of E15 for consumers and the environment, and the need for better messaging about agriculture's impact.
They also touch on the current economic challenges facing farmers, the impact of tariffs, and the legislative progress needed to make E15 a permanent option.
