Take Action: Urge Congress to Support Year-Round E15
IL Corn is asking all members and subscribed political advocates to sign a collective letter urging congress to support year-round E15. If you’ve already received this request, THANK YOU for being part of the IL Corn Collective call-to-action system; I hope you signed on! If not, let me bring you up to speed…
In December of 2024 we were so close to including year-round E15 language in the end-of-year Continuing Resolution, but it was removed from the bill at the eleventh hour. Now, all four leaders in the House and Senate are supportive of this effort and we’re hopeful to be able to get the job done as legislation moves in the next few weeks. Year-round E15 sales in the United States would increase corn demand and allow ethanol to be more competitive with electric vehicles. Together with other ag organizations like AFBF and Illinois Farm Bureau, as well as the ethanol industry, the oil industry, and fuel retailers, we can improve the corn economy. Don’t let outliers in the biofuel industry jeopardize our market growth!
As a political advocacy group representing Illinois corn farmers, land owners, and ag professionals whose business is supported by corn, ICGA considers grassroots efforts to be our primary member benefit. You can be among the first to receive important legislative updates, like this one, by subscribing to the IL Corn Collective. Join today!
Thank you!
Garrett Hawkins, President
IL Corn Growers Association
