Longtime U.S. Senator, Chuck Grassley, has been recognized with a lifetime achievement award from Growth Energy, a national biofuel trade association. He says, “Being a row crop farmer in Iowa, I am humbled and honored to receive this recognition. I have worked hard to open up new markets for growth in the biofuels industry, and I actively speak up for farmers in Iowa who feed and fuel America’s citizens. Through my years representing Iowans, I’ve fought to increase the value of the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) and pave the way for a cleaner environment. I’ve pushed administrations from both sides of the aisle to embrace renewable fuels to improve American energy independence and reduce climate change. I’ll continue to champion Iowa farmers and biofuel producers and ensure their voices are heard in Washington.” Grassley was presented the “America’s Fuel Award” last week at the organization’s executive leadership conference in recognition of his lifetime of work supporting the nation’s biofuel industry.
