National Farmers Union President Roger Johnson says U.S. farmers can create an opportunity to make a tremendous positive impact on the environment by producing advanced biofuel from grain sorghum. That’s why he calls the recent publication of data concerning biofuels produced from grain sorghum under the Renewable Fuel Standard Program a step in the right direction. The RFS2 was passed in 2007. It requires the production of 36-billion gallons of renewable fuels from conventional and advanced sources of biofuel by 2022. Johnson says NFU policy supports the increased use of renewable fuels – as it will increase domestic demand for surplus farm commodities, lower federal outlays of federal farm subsidies, decrease the country’s reliance on foreign oil and create opportunities in rural communities across the nation. National Farmers Union will submit comments to the EPA in support of approving grain sorghum for use as an advanced biofuel.
