Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley wants Congress to take the lead in delivering financial relief to farmers. “My colleagues on the Senate Ag Committee have mentioned figures in the tens of billions of dollars for farmers, and it will likely take congressional involvement to provide that level of funding,” said Grassley. “Any payment program for farmers from Congress should include legislation allowing for the sale of year-round nationwide E-15. This would generate $25 billion in new economic activity, and roughly $10 billion of that is directly from increased corn demand.” Grassley believes year-round E-15 and fertilizer market transparency should be top priorities in any aid or spending package.
