While the National Farmers Union applauds the EPA’s announcement to reject “gap year” small refinery exemptions, President Rob Larew says the decision took far too long.
“Look, this is one blip of a positive thing. The fact is that these waivers should not have even been allowed after the 10th district court decision.”
Larew says the delay hurt corn prices and granting the waivers would have negatively impacted the market even more.
