The Iowa Renewable Fuels Association opposed a request by the governors of Louisiana and Alabama to waive Renewable Fuel Standard blending levels for 2027. The association argues ethanol is cheaper than gasoline at wholesale and that weakening the RFS would raise fuel prices and hurt farmers.
A waiver would cut mandated demand for ethanol and biomass-based diesel feedstocks such as soybean oil, which is bearish for corn and soy oil if granted. The debate also bears on the price of distillers' co-products and ethanol margins.
