Renewable Fuel Proposal Would Benefit Drivers and Farmers

American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall commented today on an EPA proposal to reallocate renewable fuel production that will be lost to small refinery exemptions.

"Renewable fuels are an important tool in meeting America's domestic energy needs. EPA's proposal takes a positive step toward strengthening the Renewable Fuel Standard and reinforcing the role farmers play in growing crops for biofuels. By addressing small refinery exemptions through reallocation, the agency is pursuing policies that promote energy independence through American grown fuels.

"Farm Bureau urges EPA to adopt a full, 100 percent reallocation approach, which will help lower fuel costs for drivers while expanding economic opportunities in rural America."
