Corn growers say the Environmental Protection Agency continues to ignore the benefits of biofuels in its quest toward a clean vehicle future.
The EPA says its latest proposed vehicle emission standards could make 67% of new light-duty vehicles and 46% of new medium-duty vehicles fully electric by 2032.
Illinois Farmer Bill Leigh, who chairs the National Corn Growers Association’s Transportation Action Team, tells Brownfield the EPA is not considering homegrown biofuels like ethanol and that will hurt the nation’s farmers.
