Brownfield’s Ken Anderson has been covering events Washington, D.C. this week. He travelled to the nation’s capital with the Nebraska Corn Growers Association on its annual leadership program. Fourteen young corn farmers from around the state are part of the group. In addition to Capitol Hill visits, they have been to the Washington offices of several ag-related groups, including the U.S. Grains Council, Growth Energy and The Fertilizer Institute, just to name a few.
Ken’s Washington visit coincided with the EPA’s big RFS2 announcement from EPA this week. In fact, when Ken interviewed House Ag Committee chair Collin Peterson on Tuesday, Peterson hinted that the RFS2 rule would be released on Wednesday. Ken had comments from Peterson and Samantha Slater of the Renewable Fuels Association in a report that aired on Brownfield and Waitt Wednesday morning, making us one of the first media outlets to preview the RFS2 announcement before it took place.
Listen and watch for more of Ken’s Washington interviews in the coming days.
