Trump Administration Pushes for Permanent Year-Round E15 Sales and Hemp Policy
The Trump White House is intensifying its efforts to secure year-round sales of E15 gasoline, a blend containing 15% ethanol, by asking Congress to not only approve these measures but also to make the blend permanent. Supporters, including key agricultural figures like Grassley and the NCGA, highlight the national security and economic benefits of E15. Alongside this push, the administration is calling for a reevaluation of hemp products, advocating against broad criminalization laws set for the upcoming months. As discussions heat up, farmers are hopeful for relief and additional aid, with proposals for significant agricultural funding present in the current legislative agenda.
