National Farmers Union is urging President Trump and the EPA to reject gap year waivers that would be retroactively applied if granted.
Anne Steckel, senior biofuels advisor with NFU, says the gap year waivers are a blatant attempt by refiners to not comply with the Renewable Fuels Standard.
“We’re really seeing a lot of hits to the ethanol industry and consequently the farmers because of these policies and what the administration is talking about has real-world impact on our farmers and so we’re calling on this administration to deny these waivers immediately,” she says.
