Ag Groups Show Mixed Responses on State of Union Address

Ag groups around the country have had mixed reactions to President Biden’s State of the Union address Tuesday. The Renewable Fuels Association says ethanol should be the go-to solution for the dependence the U.S. has on Russia for oil and gas. The organization says the U.S. receives about 600-thousand barrels per day of crude oil and other petroleum-based products, meaning Russia receives $60 million per day from the U.S.
