Governors' Biofuels Coalition

Iowa farmers expect the Trump administration to restore ethanol volumes under the Renewable Fuel Standard to their statutory levels, Annette Sweeney, a member of Donald Trump’s Agriculture Advisory Committee who met with him over the summer, told POLITICO. Sweeney, a farmer and former Iowa state legislator from Iowa Falls, met with Trump over the summer “for a good long conversation.” She told him how the four ethanol factories near Iowa Falls had revived the town. “He said, ‘That makes a good strong economy, doesn’t it?’ I said, ‘Yes sir, it does,’” Sweeney said.
