“I thank Austin Scott for his leadership on this farm bill. I am from Iowa. We are home to 87,000 proud farmers. We are the home of American Gothic, and we are home to some of the best technology, particularly in ag, this country has ever seen and the world can benefit from. That is why it is so important that we move forward a farm bill this year that helps not just farmers but everyone in this country and leads with energy and biofuels the world over. I am speaking specifically to year-round nationwide E15. Not only is it 30 cents cheaper at the pump, not only is it 50 percent more fuel efficient and cleaner for us, and not only does it bleed off our need right now for foreign energy sources, it starts right here in America. Here is the reality: For the last 4 years under the Biden administration gas hit its highest price of over $5 a gallon. We have the opportunity to rein it in with this. The reality is we have done more in the last 4 months than the last administration had done in the last 4 years. We have moved forward on summer waivers with EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin. We have worked for 45Z, and we have helped sustainable aviation fuel. Iowa's producers should not have to win it back every single year. We should make this permanent, year-round, and nationwide, and help not only farmers grow, but my consumers, like my six kids, have a more affordable cost of living right here in Iowa and right here in America.”
