Bakers press on for changes to the corn-based ethanol program
The American Bakers Association (ABA), Washington, issued a statement on July 23, from president and CEO Robb MacKie on “The Renewable Fuel Standard Repeal Act” (S. 1195):
“The corn-based ethanol program and the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) continue taking their toll on the baking industry and consumers. Corn-based ethanol has accelerated the decrease of wheat acreage in the U.S. over the past 30 years and tightened food supplies around the world.”
