Another target date has passed without resolution on year-round E15 ethanol fuel availability, leaving agricultural stakeholders expressing frustration over the ongoing delays. The missed deadline represents another setback for corn producers who have been advocating for expanded access to the higher ethanol blend.
Bradley Schad, who serves as CEO of Missouri Corn, voiced his concerns about the continued postponements. “It’s definitely disappointing for our growers after working this so long and so hard,” Schad stated, reflecting the sentiment shared by many in the agricultural community who have been pushing for this policy change.
The delay adds to mounting uncertainty surrounding the E15 fuel decision, which would allow gas stations to sell the 15 percent ethanol blend throughout the entire year rather than being restricted during summer months.
