National Corn Growers Association President Applauds Release of RVO Numbers
28 March 2026, US: President Trump released the Environmental Protection Agency’s proposed biofuel blending volumes under the Renewable Fuel Standard during an event today for farmers at the White House.
Growers also noted the approach to the partial reallocation of small refinery exemptions, the mark was set at 70%.
In response to the development, Ohio farmer and National Corn Growers Association President Jed Bower, who was present at the White House for the announcement, issued the following statement:
“Our deep thanks goes to President Trump and Administrator Zeldin for releasing these robust RVO numbers in an exceptionally timely manner and, appropriately, during an event honoring America’s farmers. This action provides certainty to corn farmers across the country who rely on a stable biofuels industry.
“Today’s announcement, coupled with the Trump administration’s E15 summertime waiver earlier this week, is a positive move for the nation’s corn growers who are navigating an exceptionally difficult economic environment.
“There is still more to be done to help our growers, and we look forward to working side-by-side with the president and our allies in Congress to get permanent year-round E15 legislation over the finish line.”
