The Nebraska Corn Board hosted National Corn Growers Association CEO Rick Tolman in Lincoln Wednesday. Tolman, who was originally scheduled to talk about corn research with University of Nebraska at Lincoln officials, added a press conference to his agenda in order to defend corn-based ethanol.

Tolman told Brownfield afterward he’s been working practically non-stop to counteract a sophisticated, multi-million dollar public relations campaign by the oil and food processing industries against ethanol. And Tolman is asking for the aid of agricultural producers who back the renewable fuel.

“We really need farmers to get up and help tell the story - make sure their Congressman their Senators know the facts and what’s going on,” urged Tolman. “But it is 24-7.”

The only multi-million dollar campaign working against ethanol is the costs imposed upon consumers by our outlandish biofuels policy
