Nebraska Corn Growers Association

An important message from the Nebraska Corn Growers Association

A group of ethanol companies has asked the Environmental Protection Agency to increase the ethanol blend rate cap from 10 percent to up to 15 percent in regular gasoline.

This will help get more ethanol into the marketplace, create demand for idle ethanol capacity and help us along our path to becoming more energy independent. Approval of the increase is good for the future of the ethanol industry - and since the industry is an important corn customer, it would be good for corn growers, too.
