There is a lot going on in the world of biofuels. Ethanol has gotten much attention, lately. However, biodiesel has some needs as well. Congress is hoping to have these matters addressed very soon. In this first installment of a two-part discussion with Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley, we will focus on ethanol.

Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley held his weekly ag media call. He remarked on the schedule for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to roll out the final 2019-2020 Renewable Volume Obligations (RVO?s).

Grassley says these numbers will not fix the damage done by former EPA Administrator Pruitt. Grassley reminds us these numbers are meaningless if waivers continue to be handed out like candy.

Grassley thinks Acting Administrator Wheeler has a great opportunity to repair the relationship between the EPA and the Midwest states.
