GROWTH ENERGY PRESSES E15 FIX FOLLOWING USDA FARM INCOME FORECAST
Feb. 6, 2026
Source: Growth Energy news release
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Growth Energy, the nation's largest biofuel trade association, today called on lawmakers to act swiftly on E15 following another disappointing farm income forecast from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
"Rural America is hurting," said Emily Skor, CEO of Growth Energy. "Corn growers were already expecting a net loss of $180 per acre, and this latest USDA report confirms that the broader farm income isn't faring much better. Our growers don't want to depend on federal aid for their livelihood -- they want strong, stable markets for their crops. That's exactly what E15 delivers -- an immediate source of demand for up to 2.4 billion additional bushels of corn -- at no cost to taxpayers. Best of all, it means lower fuel prices for American drivers. Congress simply can't afford to wait any longer to deliver a permanent fix for E15."
