Ricketts Urges Trump to Support a Strong RFS
Nebraska Ag Connection - 03/20/2018
Governor Pete Ricketts sent a letter to President Donald J. Trump thanking him for his support of the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). The letter also encourages President Trump to reject any proposal which would weaken the RFS, that has been pivotal to
growing Nebraska agriculture.
"[E]conomic conditions today 'are testing the resilience of the American farmer,'" reads the letter. "These challenges would only be exacerbated by demand-destroying alterations to the RFS -- a policy which has been a lifeline for farmers, driving job growth and
attracting billions of dollars of investment to rural areas where opportunities are needed most."
Ricketts has previously testified in support of the RFS in front of the EPA, and he has served as chairman of the Governors' Biofuels Coalition.
