Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Mike Naig issued the following statement today after the Trump Administration issued an emergency waiver authorizing nationwide sales of E15 during the summer of 2026.
“I appreciate the Trump Administration allowing the nationwide sale of E15 this summer. This is a win for farmers, drivers, and homegrown American energy. I also want to thank Iowa’s congressional delegation for continuing to push for year-round E15.
But to be clear, our farmers and consumers shouldn’t have to rely on short-term emergency waivers every year. Congress has had multiple chances to provide farmers, biofuel producers and fuel retailers with the long-term certainty they need by fixing this issue permanently, and they have failed to get it done.
It’s long overdue for Congress to finally pass a permanent nationwide fix for year-round E15, which will save Americans money at the pump, support a critical market for farmers, and boost American energy independence.”
