These gallons matter.

🌽📢 Thank you to @RepAshleyHinson @RepMMM @RepFeenstra and @NunnForCongress for standing up for Iowa farmers and biofuels producers.

Read statement here: iowarfa.org/2026/10/irfa-app…

The process is moving forward, but the job isn't finished yet. EPA's decision to restore waived RFS volumes was a major win for biofuels, and staying on schedule is essential to maintaining market certainty and supporting demand. Read press release here: iowarfa.org/2026/10/epa-begi…
