Congresswoman Angie Craig Releases Statement on EPA’s Progress Towards Year-Round E15 Sales

Today, Congresswoman Angie Craig released the following statement after the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Andrew Wheeler signed the proposed E15 rule, taking a critical step towards year-round E15 sales.

"Yesterday the EPA took a critical step towards the year-round sale of E15. During this difficult farm economy and damaging trade disputes, this comes as welcome news to Minnesota farmers. I have long supported the year-round sale of E15 to provide additional certainty to producers while expanding options at the pump for Minnesota communities. I encourage farmers to share their thoughts with the EPA throughout the comment period, which closes in April. As a member of the Congressional Biofuels Caucus, I will fight to ensure the Administration does not take additional actions to give handouts to big oil on the backs of Minnesota farmers."
