The Nebraska Ethanol Board has been working with the University of Nebraska Lincoln to help educate farmers as to how to deal with the EPA’s Spill Control and Counter Measure Rules. Those involve storage of fuels on the farm. Nebraska Ethanol Board Administrator Todd Sneller says there are many questions from fuel suppliers as well as farmer regarding these SPCC rules.
