Scores of corn growers from more than a dozen states will converge in Kansas City, Kansas, Thursday.
The EPA is holding a public hearing on its proposal to cut nearly four billion gallons of corn ethanol from the Renewable Fuels Standard through 2016, according to the National Corn Growers Association.
NCGA President Chip Bowling says farmers and others in rural America, this new EPA proposal means low corn prices and ethanol plant and industry cutbacks.
NCGA is also hosting a rally nearby the conference center where the hearing will take place.
It will include business and political leaders speaking in favor of the RFS.
Testimony during the public hearing begins at 9:00am central time with the rally starting at 11:30am.
NCGA is providing bus transportation for growers across the Midwest to attend the rally.
