Pushing back against EPA’s emissions rule

Corn farmers are pushing back against EPA’s recent tailpipe emissions rule for cars and trucks.

Several state corn associations, along with some biofules groups have filed a petition to challenge the EPA’s attempt to mandate a single technology to reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions.  

Matt Frostic a farmer on the board of the Michigan Corn Growers Association says electric vehicles aren’t the only option.  “When we take a biofuel like ethanol, we can sequester the carbon by growing the product,” he says.
