CORN: Fueling Life in Tennessee 🌽

[@FueledbyCorn @fueledbycorn]

Now that planting season is winding down, it’s grow time! 🌱 If you’re taking a drive through the Tennessee countryside, you’ll see fields turning green as rows of corn grow. Those fields will eventually feed livestock and fuel your car! #FueledByCorn

What to look for at the pump:
🔹E10 - 10% ethanol, 90% gasoline. The standard fuel you probably already use.
🔹Unl88 (E15) - 15% ethanol, usually with a blue handle. Safe for cars made 2001 or later.
🔹E85 - Up to 85% ethanol, for flex fuel vehicles. Look for a yellow nozzle.

June is #DairyMonth. And believe it or not, corn fuels dairy cows. 🌽🐄🥛
There’s a common myth that corn isn’t good for dairy cows, but corn silage (whole corn plants) is actually one of the best energy sources for dairy cows producing milk.

LET’S BUST THIS MYTH ❌🌽
Have you ever heard someone say #ethanol takes away from our food supply? Most field corn is used for livestock feed, exports, or being used in everyday products, like cosmetics 💄, batteries 🔋 and hand soap 🧼.

❌ MYTH: Corn farming is bad for the environment. ❌

Modern farming is smarter, greener and more sustainable. 🌱

❌ MYTH: #Ethanol is bad for your car 🚗💨 Ethanol-blended fuels like E10 and E15 are not only safe for most cars, but they could actually improve your engine’s performance thanks to ethanol’s higher octane rating. Not sure what your car can handle? Check your owner’s manual. 👀

Feeling the pinch at the grocery store? 💵 Save at the pump! ⛽ E10/Unleaded 87 is usually 56¢ cheaper per gallon than ethanol-free gas. Which means more $ for essentials! 🛒 Plus, you're supporting TN farmers and cleaner air. Fuel up with #ethanol! 🌽🚗 #FueledByCorn
