Corn farmers are celebrating some recent developments.
Minnesota Corn Growers Association president Richard Syverson says averting a rail strike allows the movement of corn to continue.
“From where I live, all of the corn that reaches export markets goes west on rail. But a bigger impact might even have been on the ethanol industry. Most plants don’t have a lot of storage, they need to be producing ethanol and putting it on rail.”
And with ethanol being a major end user of corn, the west-central Minnesota farmer tells Brownfield he’s pleased with EPA’s recent RFS proposal.
