North Dakota Corn Growers Association President: We will continue to advocate for year-round E-15 to "combat" gas prices

(Morton, ND) -- The North Dakota Corn Growers Association is continuing their support for alternative fuel sources currently within reach.

Andrew Mauch, North Dakota Corn Growers Association's newest president who will be filling the role starting July 1st, spoke with WDAY Radio about the association's support for ethanol production and investments. 

"E-15 and ethanol as a renewable fuel is here now, "said Mauch, "There is a lot of infrastructure out there for that, where we can try to push it and market that more...If we could get some more funds for infrastructure for that [it] can reduce the price of gas and make out environment cleaner."

Mauch says ethanol production and infrastructure investments are a key tool the current administration can use to create fuel without pulling more oil from the ground. He says ethanol production is a key way to combat high gas prices.

"We as farmers feel like we have the answer right now, and it's using more ethanol," said Mauch, "It's huge for us, it's huge for the environment, its huge for the customers and they decide what fuel to use in their vehicle."
