SDCGA: ‘EPA only got it half right’

Reacting to the EPA’s RFS2 final rule, the South Dakota Corn Growers Association says the agency “only got it half right.” 

The group is pleased with EPA’s acknowledgement of corn ethanol’s advantage over conventional gasoline when it comes to greenhouse gas emissions.  At the same time, the corn growers are disappointed with EPA’s continued reliance on international indirect land use calculations, which they call “hocus pocus”.  They’re called on EPA to reject what they call “the flawed and unproven theory” of international indirect land use change.
