@kscorn and farmers across the nation thank @RepRonEstes for his support of year-round E15. Your district includes the best of agriculture, ethanol and oil industries, fueling America!
Today’s passage of year-round E15 is a major win for Kansas farmers, ethanol producers, and American energy independence. Expanding access to E15 gives consumers more choices at the pump, helps lower fuel costs, and strengthens rural economies across Kansas and the nation. Proud to support policies that put American agriculture and energy first.
On behalf of @kscorn and farmers across the nation we thank @RepMann for his unwavering support of E15! Tracey is a long time friend and fierce advocate for agriculture!
The House just passed year-round E15 in the House. This means more choices at the pump for Americans, stronger markets for Kansas agriculture, and more certainty for our energy producers.
This is a major win for American consumers and agricultural producers.
On behalf of @kscorn and farmers across the nation, we greatly appreciate @RepDavids support for year-round E15 and garnering support from your colleagues!
BIG news for Kansas drivers and farmers: the House just passed my year-round E15 bill! ⛽🌽
That means lower costs at the pump, more support for Kansas agriculture, and stronger American energy independence.
Now the Senate must get this done too.
Tonight, the House passed the Nationwide Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act, which will allow — not mandate — the year-round sale of E15 gasoline. This will open additional markets for Kansas farmers, keep money in Kansas by adding value to corn, and give retailers the certainty they need to expand the offering of E15, which can cost 30-40 cents less per gallon than E10. I was proud to work with Kansas farm organizations and my colleagues as a cosponsor of this bill and hope the Senate will soon take it up and send it to President Trump's desk.
On behalf of @kscorn we greatly appreciate your leadership on E15, Congressman! For everyone out there, don't believe the opposition from random trolls! This legislation is not a mandate, it simply fixes outdated regulations to allow for year round E15 sales. Fuel retailers will have the CHOICE to offer it and consumers will have the CHOICE to purchase it! With high fuel prices now, it's a GREAT choice!
I strongly support year-round E15. It’s a game changer for Kansan farmers and our biofuels industry. The House is expected to vote on it next week, and I look forward to backing it. This would be an important step forward and a big win for our producers.
@BrianWillott Please tell me he know's that he's lying, I won't be able to sleep thinking my neighbors to the south have someone representing them that thinks choice=mandate!
@5gen_ks_farmer I have to tell myself in times like these that surely he knows he's lying, we don't actually have an elected official that thinks consumer choice = mandate! It even says it in the title!
@ColoDirtFarmer I hope that he is fullly aware that he's telling a HUGE lie, and that we don't have an elected MOC that can't comprehend that Consumer Choice ➡️ Mandate!
USGBC and member representatives from the ethanol industry recently met with counterparts in Portugal and the United Kingdom to develop demand for U.S. ethanol for on-road use and sustainable aviation fuel.
Pictured at the National Laboratory of Energy and Geology in Lisbon are USGBC Regional Ethanol Manager for the European Union, U.K. and Canada Stephanie Larson (rightmost); USGBC Regional Ethanol Consultant Alberto Carmona (second from right); POET Vice President of Corporate Affairs Doug Berven (third from right); and Kansas Corn CEO Josh Roe (fourth from right).

Great day on the range at the Kansas 4H Shooting Sports BB, Air Rifle and Pistol State Match. Riley/Pott took 2nd in BB and Will won the Junior Division. Super proud of these kids. Look for a club in your area if you have 8-16 year olds, great life lessons!
Many in person meetings with @GovLauraKelly, her staff, and great partners with @RenewKansas and dozens of emails. The admin knows this simple action would provide certainly and allow @kscorn to recruit additional stations. But once again this administration turns it back on KS ag and consumers.
After initially joining, Kansas later backed out b/c Missouri wasn’t part of the E15 bloc, while Gov. Kelly said she would rejoin if Missouri did. Missouri did. Yet year after year, Kansas didn’t rejoin. Then, as recently as late Feb 2026, the Governor suggested Kansas would opt out if Congress didn’t act by yesterday. She didn’t. Now Kansas fuel retailers are left again w/o certainty on whether they’ll be able to sell E15 in summer 2027, certainty Gov. Kelly could have secured with the stroke of a pen. It unfortunately means station growth will stall & consumers will pay more for fuel. With today’s high fuel prices, state of our farm economy, bushels matter & gallons of biofuels like ethanol matter. This didn’t have to happen.
E15 fuel economy back center stage. Here are MPG results from California testing. Average loss was 1.3% but note some saw MPG gain! The fuel is averaging a national discount of 8% today. Your cost per mile goes down with E15 - there is no debate. Add ethanol - octane goes up, cost goes down.
I have good luck spraying with Grazon and Remedy in the spring/summer then cut the following year. If you catch them small they'll rot in place and no need to clip. For larger ones I cut a band around the base of the trunk and spray the cut with Tordon, wait until they're completely dead to cut. Both of these methods SUCK, but once you get ahead of them spraying the small ones is easy.
Great day in Topeka today with the KS Senate passing the ethanol tax credit bill 38-1! I didn’t have it on my bingo card that a tax credit for the purchase of gun safes would be amended! However, as a shooting sports instructor that teaches firearm safety to youth, I can get behind that!
Special thanks to our partners at @RenewKansas and of course Senator @CarynTysonKS, Chair of the Senate Tax Committee for hearing and carrying the legislation.
Looking forward to working with the house to get this across the line!
Kansas corn farmers need markets—and they need them now.
The Kansas Corn Growers Association appreciates Representatives Tracey Mann and Sharice Davids voting in favor of the Farm Bill in the House Agriculture Committee this week. But we remain frustrated by the continued lack of progress toward year-round access to E15.
At a time when farm country is facing serious economic pressure, expanding access to E15 would create critical demand for corn, strengthen rural economies and provide consumers with a lower-cost fuel option.

Last week, Kansas Corn staff and farmer leaders attended the U.S. Grains & BioProducts Council’s 23rd International Marketing Conference and 66th Annual Membership Meeting.
This winter meeting was focused on working with USGBC’s international staff to develop global market strategy and share feedback from farmers and industry on market concerns and opportunities.
Kansas Corn has farmer and staff leaders serving on all seven advisory teams helping guide this work year-round. Their work is not over. Watch for A-Team updates on how we’re building demand for Kansas corn. 🌽
KCGA’s message to our congressional delegation is to vote no on any spending package that does not include year-round E15! I urge farmers to deliver this message as well to your members of Congress! @kscorn
