Year-round E15 sales approval could be December

“We hear through various conversations that we will have answer before December.”

Renewable Fuels Nebraska Executive Director Dawn Caldwell says any delay creates unnecessary uncertainty. “The greatest thing that we see is whether it’s for farmers and the ethanol plants that buy grain from those farmers knowing what volume of product they need to make for this next year, all of them want to run full out.
