A rally is planned in Sioux Falls, South Dakota Wednesday, the day EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt is anticipated in the city. South Dakota Corn Growers Executive Director Lisa Richardson tells Brownfield farmers feel strongly about what they see as the agency’s undercutting of support for ethanol.
“We’ve got farmers coming in, we’ve got tractors rolling,” Richardson told Brownfield Ag News Tuesday. “We just got done planting and people are still planting and they’re starting to spray, but this is critically important to our industry.”
Richardson says the state’s farmers produce about 800 million bushels of corn annually, of which 350 million bushels are used to produce ethanol.
