U.S. agricultural groups continued to react to the Environmental Protection Agency’s Summertime E15 waiver announcement. “Nationwide access to E15 is a much-needed win for family farmers and consumers alike,” said National Farmers Union President Rob Larew. “It helps lower costs at the pump while creating markets for farmers.” National Corn Growers Association President Jed Bower said, “This development will help our corn growers, who are doing their best to navigate tough times.” Senate Ag Committee Ranking Member Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) said every cent saved at the pump can make a real difference, adding that, “We must now act in Congress to pass my bipartisan legislation to permanently allow the sale of nationwide, year-round E15.” Zippy Duvall, president of the American Farm Bureau, said biofuels play an important role in meeting America’s energy needs and are a win-win for farmers and drivers. “E15 gasoline saves consumers 10 to 30 cents per gallon at the pump,” Duvall said.
