The National Corn Growers Association, American Farm Bureau Federation, American Petroleum Institute and car dealerships are suing the Environmental Protection Agency over its emissions standards for light-duty and medium-duty trucks. The emission standards would require 68 percent of new passenger vehicles and 43 percent of new medium-duty trucks and vans to be electric by 2032. Farm Bureau President Zippy Duvall said these “impractical standards” will drive up the cost for farm vehicles and force farmer to rely on a charging network that doesn’t exist in Rural America.
