House bill considers making corn starch ethanol an advanced biofuel

A bill introduced in the US House this week aims to level the playing field for corn starch ethanol.

The Fuels Parity Act introduced by Representatives Nikki Budzinski and Eric Sorensen of Illinois, Mariannette Miller-Meeks of Iowa, Stephanie Bice of Oklahoma and Wesley Hunt of Texas would allow ethanol from corn starch to be classified as an advanced biofuel.

Dave Loos with the Illinois Corn Growers Association tells Brownfield it would give corn farmers more access to the domestic market.
