Farm Bureau: Ethanol Proposal Should be Scrapped

INDIANAPOLIS (AP): The president of Indiana Farm Bureau wants the state's farmers to urge the federal government to scrap a proposal to reduce the amount of ethanol in the nation's fuel supply. Don Villwock says corn prices have dropped more than 5 percent since word of the proposed U.S. Environmental Protection Agency rule was leaked in October. Federal support for ethanol has been a boon to the economies of corn-growing states like Indiana. But the Obama administration says the biofuel law championed by both parties in 2007 isn't working as well as expected.
