A House vote on year-round E15 has been delayed until mid-May. Renewable Fuels Association Director of Government Affairs Jared Mullendore says expanding ethanol blends beyond the current ten percent level could significantly boost demand for corn. “If you can take an effective blend rate that’s in the ten percent range, to the high elevens, that would be a billion and a half gallons of ethanol, which would be half a billion bushels of corn,” he said. “Ask any farmer if an extra half a billion bushels of demand would be a good thing to have.”
