During Brownfield harvest visits, several farmers in Congresswoman Cheri Bustos’ northwest Illinois District expressed pride in her introduction of the Next Generation Fuels Act.
Cameron, Illinois farmer Rob Elliott says the legislation would not only create considerable demand for corn, but also benefits the auto industry.
“What they need is certainty. Certainty that they can make the engines, and have a fuel, and have a market, and have the infrastructure to be able to dispense that fuel in a broad market across the entire country.”
Illinois Corn Growers Association Vice President Randy DeSutter tells Brownfield the legislation includes environmental benefits as well.
