ACT NOW for Year-Round E15

Congress is considering including the Nationwide Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act  into the pending funding package, which would allow for year-round, unrestricted sales of E15 nationwide. And members of Congress are primed to act.

IL Corn and NCGA staff are making phone calls and walking the halls of congress, doing our best to push this over the finish line, but we need your help applying pressure and holding Congress accountable - and we need your help NOW.

Take action on this campaign to email your members of Congress and encourage them to support the inclusion of this policy in the incoming funding legislation. A draft letter is included here for you; personalizing this letter with your own 2025 profitability experience, relationship with a local ethanol plant, or commitment to your rural community will grow the impact of your contact.

Help us Fuel the E15 Comeback. We need your voice.
