Perdue thinks SRE ruling should be applied nationwide

Ag Secretary Sonny Perdue spoke with reporters Monday at the National Farmers Union meeting in Savannah, Georgia.

At last week’s Commodity Classic, Ag Secretary Sonny Perdue said he believes small refinery exemptions (SREs) will be reduced in response to a recent Tenth Circuit Court ruling that EPA overstepped its SRE granting authority.

But what if EPA decides to appeal the court’s decision? Speaking with reporters at the National Farmers Union annual meeting in Savannah, Georgia, Perdue said that appears doubtful.
