Driving along Interstate 70 from eastern Kansas all of the way through Illinois and Indiana, the harvest is winding down for this year. Farmers are already making their decisions for what varieties of seed that they will plant this spring, and ordering their fertilizers, making sure that they have what they need to put the crop in the ground. That crop that can and will keep America growing: Corn.
Corn farmers today are continuing to harvest an abundant crop and meet all needs for food, feed, fuel and fiber. By providing a value-added market for farmers, the U.S. ethanol industry is an unrivaled engine for job creation and economic opportunity throughout rural America.
