California is the country’s largest domestic market for E85 fuel and the state’s largest ethanol distributor says that’s good news for farmers.
Jeff Wilkerson with Pearson Fuels says retailers in California are buying ethanol at a record pace to meet the state’s low carbon fuel standard. “Nebraska, Iowa and Kansas – these are big states selling ethanol into California and it will continue. That’s where ethanol is produced and that’s where the supply is at. There’s a direct tie back to corn farmers who are taking their corn directly to ethanol plants.”
