The President of National Corn Growers Association says recent moves to allow year-round sales of E15 are a big win for corn farmers.

Last week, the EPA granted a waiver allowing E15 sales for the summer 2022 driving season, while eight Midwestern Governors notified the EPA of their intent to allow year-round E15 sales in their states by summer 2023 under the Clean Air Act.

NCGA’s Chris Edgington, a farmer from Iowa, says these efforts help expand the corn market.
