Thank you @UnionPacific@UP_Steam for stopping in Gothenburg! Had a great crowd with tons of kids (young and old)! We always look forward to 4014’s stop!
Star Wars.
Not Episode 4. Not A New Hope.
And yes: Han shoots first.
Here's the 50th Anniversary Re-release Trailer.
THIS is the Star Wars product I've been waiting to spend my money on.
If you are a corn grower or depend on corn growers you should be a member of your state corn growers association and with that a member of @NationalCorn
Year-round E15 just moved one step closer to becoming law, and NCGA members put us in this position. The Senate is next. Make sure you're part of what comes next at https://t.co/bKsjPU4Bzb
The passage of the Nationwide Consumer Fuel and Retailer Choice Act in the House of Representatives is huge win for American drivers, for farmers, and for American energy independence. We’re grateful to our champions in the House for all their support over the years. Read our full statement here: https://t.co/UxUanyf005
An #E15 🧵: Let’s set the record straight on the @FAPRI_MU analysis, which likely influenced CBO’s flawed budget score of HR 1346. FAPRI used a baseline that doesn’t incorporate the actual final RVOs adopted by EPA for 2026-27. @ElizabethElkin@ASA_soybeans
@ASA_Soybeans I thought soybeans and corn were supposed to be on the same team, but apparently you guys are anti-American corn farmer trying to throw a roadblock for E 15.
And I want my lifetime dues back!!
Unfortunately, misinformation has fueled opposition to nationwide E15 for far too long.
Today, I joined a bipartisan group of colleagues to set the record straight on how year-round E15 lowers fuel costs, expands consumer choice, and strengthens American energy independence.
If I hear one more time about how some refiners “spend more on RINs than they do on payroll,” I’ll scream. First off, they made the choice to buy RINs from competitors rather than invest in blending. Second, the recoup their RIN costs in the crack spread. Third, ethanol producers spend more on petroleum-based denaturant (i.e., crappy gasoline) that they are forced by law to use than they spend on payroll. And you don’t hear them crying to Congress about it!
1. If anyone thinks that understanding the U.S. Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS) is confusing, you are not alone. That is why, after 15 years of work with some extraordinary collaborators, I'm thrilled to share that "The Biofuels Blueprint: Understanding the U.S. Renewable Fuel Standard" has been published as a Featured Article in Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy — and it's open access. https://t.co/0nYlabQBgk
As E15 debate ramps up, every ounce of nonsense will be on display. I've already seen - how much water does it take? Comparing a data center to ethanol. Over last 20 years, only about 14% of U.S. corn acres were irrigated to begin with. And after accounting for feed coproducts, only ~27% of the corn crop goes to the fuel portion of ethanol production. That means only about 4% of total U.S. corn production is both irrigated AND used for ethanol fuel.
Congress should not let the stubbornness and obstinacy of a small group of Fortune 500 refining companies stand in the way of lower pump prices for American families—especially right now. #ethanol#E15

Ethanol economics lesson for the day - E15 is selling at a national average discount of 9.7% & E85 is at a 28.6% discount. These prices have been submitted from consumers fueling up from stations across the country at https://t.co/f08VKCgPX9.
