Nebraska Governor, Pete Ricketts and Iowa Governor, Terry Branstad have launched a statewide pump labeling initiative to promote the American Ethanol Brand. Nebraska Corn Board Executive Director, Kelly Brunkhorst says it’s the next step after their cooperation with NASCAR in promoting the fuel.
Brunkhorst says this initiative will help provide consumers a consistent experience at the pumps whether it be their choice of E-10, E-15, E-30 or E-85.
Brunkhorst says for retailers wanting the new labels, they go online for a form.
Iowa leads the nation in annual production of ethanol with 3.8 billion gallons, while Nebraska is second with more than two billion gallons of annual production. Iowa has 42 ethanol plants while Nebraska has 24.
