Ag groups are sharing their outlook for the new Trump presidency

Responses have been pouring in since former President Trump’s win. Farm Bureau President Zippy Duvall says the American people have spoken, and urges lawmakers to get back to work on issues like the Farm Bill.

Biofuel groups are also looking forward to a new Administration. The Renewable Fuels Association’s Geoff Cooper says, “President-Elect Trump understands that ethanol lowers fuel costs for hard-working families, reduces dependence on foreign energy sources, helps farmers and boosts the rural economy, and protects the environment. We are committed to collaborating with the Trump administration on the many opportunities that lie ahead for renewable fuels.”
