Madelia, Minnesota farmer and past president of the Minnesota Corn Growers Association Harold Wolle attended the event. In business meetings, NCGA approved language to uphold President Trump on his commitments on the Renewable Fuel Standard. “Small refinery exemptions are being granted to refineries, destroying demand for ethanol.
