Global Politics Has Ethanol Industry on “Thin Ice”

Nebraska's a world leader in ethanol, but global politics have the industry treading on thin ice, reportsNTV.

“Tougher together” is Chris Vincent's motto these days. The CEO ofAurora Cooperative, Aurora, NE, stands behind ethanol, even as the profitability has disappeared.

The trade war has affected exports, plus here at home, domestic ethanol growth may hinge on the EPA carrying out President Trump's directive to allow higher blends.

“I know it's the lowest point from an earnings perspective, economically for ethanol, but guess what, we're still here, we're still standing, and we're not going to stop,” he toldNTV.
