Agriculture groups are weighing in on their expectations with the new administration coming in early next year with the election of Donald Trump as President. National Corn Grower’s Association Executive Vice President Jon Doggett says they expect the new President to support renewable fuels and the RFS.

Doggett says one of the challenges President Trump will have coming in is uniting a country that’s currently very divided.
