Ep 012: All About the Next Generation Fuels Act

This episode of Kernels has hosts Marlene and Luke going over the Next Generation Fuels Act, what it does for American corn growers, and the value it can provide. The bill was just reintroduced in both the House and the Senate in Washington, DC, and will help ensure markets for farmers while providing a less expensive, higher octane fuel for consumers. Just like you, we are getting antsy for planting season to kick off in Ohio. As special guests, the Ohio Corn Marketing Program Board of Directors drop in to tell you what they look forward to most during this time of year. Marlene Eick is the Director of Marketing and Communication at Ohio Corn & Wheat and Luke Crumley is the Director of Public Policy and Nutrient Management.
