Livestock and poultry producers formally asked the Obama administration today to suspend the nation’s renewable fuels standard because it is causing “severe economic harm” as corn prices surged to a record.
A coalition including the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association and National Pork Producers Council, sent a petition to the Environmental Protection Agency today asking for a waiver “in whole or in substantial part” the output requirements under the Renewable Fuels Standard for 12 months.
