Making E15 available across the country year-round would deliver real benefits for farmers, consumers and the country. America’s farmers are always looking for how we can do better for our families, our rural communities and our nation. We are committed to growing nutritious food for families across the country, and we are proud to help deliver products that make Americans’ daily lives more affordable and sustainable. Biofuels, like E15, are boosting farm businesses, improving the environment, and reducing costs at the pump.
E15 Can Help Refuel the Farm Economy
Farmers are facing the toughest farm economy in a generation, with historically low row crop prices and record-high and ever-increasing production expenses. Some farm families are uncertain whether they can hang on for another season. Since 2017, we have lost more than 160,000 farms, and that number will only rise if relief doesn’t come soon. Farm Bureau has been calling on Congress and the administration to deliver short- and long-term solutions to ensure our farms and rural communities not only survive but thrive.
