NCGA Statement on E15 Analyses

Multiple recent analyses show potential impacts of year-round E15 adoption. In response to these reports, Krista Swanson, the National Corn Growers Association's chief economist, released the following statement:

"We disagree with two fundamental assumptions with recent analyses related to year-round E15 adoption: they do not factor in the historically high final RVO volumes recently set for biomass-based diesel and they assume slower E15 adoption than industry projections.

"NCGA has also conducted its own analysis of year-round E15 and all outcomes point in the same direction: E15 strengthens corn demand and farm income for corn farmers, most of whom also raise soybeans. Year-round E15 saves drivers money at the pump, supports America's corn farmers and improves energy security for our country. H.R. 1346 deserves a yes vote."
