“Corn ethanol and soy biodiesel are home-grown, clean burning renewable fuels that provide tremendous benefits to rural communities across Nebraska, and to the state as a whole,” said Alan Tiemann, chairman of the Nebraska Corn Board and a farmer from Seward. “We are excited that Governor Heineman will highlight the benefits of renewable fuels and declare September as Renewable Fuels Awareness Month at Husker Harvest Days this year.”
The Nebraska Corn Board is a self-help program, funded and managed by Nebraska corn farmers. Producers invest in the program at a rate of 1/4 of a cent per bushel of corn sold. Nebraska corn checkoff funds are invested in programs of market development, research and education.
