Soy Group Won’t Support Bill on Higher Corn-Ethanol Gasoline

The American Soybean Association said it “cannot support” legislation that would expand higher-ethanol gasoline, creating a split with corn farmers who stand to benefit from an expanded biofuels market.

The relatively rare rift between growers of America’s two biggest crops comes ahead of a crucial vote in the House of Representatives this week that would allow year-round, nationwide sales of E15 gasoline.
