Minnesota Governor Tim Walz made an appearance at the MN Ag Expo. In addition to setting a goal of enrolling one million acres in the Minnesota Agriculture Water Quality Certification Program this year, Walz talked about the upcoming legislative session and the importance of approving year-round E-15 in Minnesota. “I think this may be the year to get this done. It’s not only the right thing to do environmentally, it’s a sound market for local growers.” A group of farmers met with Walz, including Minnesota Corn Growers Association President and Lake Wilson, Minnesota farmer Bryan Biegler. “We talked about E-15 in our meeting with the governor, but we also need help on the federal level for mandating E-15. June, July and August E-15 isn’t allowed. If we can get that changed, it would help on the state level.” Hear the Red River Farm Network’s interview with Walz.
