Iowa Corn Growers Applaud House Passage of Year-Round E15 Legislation

The Iowa Corn Growers Association (ICGA) celebrates the U.S. House of Representatives’ passage of nationwide, year-round E15 legislation. 

In response to the vote, ICGA President and farmer from Waverly, Iowa, Mark Mueller, released the following statement: 

“Today’s House vote is a monumental win for Iowa’s corn farmers, rural communities and millions of American drivers. Expanding E15 access drives market growth for U.S. corn and ethanol, promotes cleaner air and delivers real savings at the pump for consumers. 

“This victory would not have been possible without the steadfast leadership of Representatives Feenstra, Nunn, Miller-Meeks and Hinson. We thank them for their bipartisan efforts in moving E15 one step closer to the finish line. E15 is a real solution to high prices at the pump as a homegrown solution with outdated regulations that has caused a long-fought battle, and we are not finished yet. ICGA looks forward to working with the U.S. Senate to make E15 a reality for all Americans. 

“ICGA has long advocated nationwide access to higher blends of ethanol and applauds lawmakers for listening to farmers, biofuel producers and consumers for access to markets and options at the pump.”
