LINCOLN, NE – To celebrate the success of renewable fuels like ethanol and soy biodiesel – and all the positives that renewable fuels contribute to Nebraska and the country as a whole – Nebraska Governor Dave Heineman will declare September Renewable Fuels Month at Husker Harvest Days this week. The ceremony is scheduled for about 10:20 a.m. Wednesday September 15th, in front of the commodities Building on Husker Harvest Days Main Street.
Renewable Fuels Month is to celebrate all the benefits renewable fuels bring to Nebraska
Governor Heineman will make a few remarks, as will farmer-directors of Nebraska Corn Board and Nebraska Soybean Board. Olympic gold medalist Curt Tomasevicz will also speak.
“We appreciate Governor Heineman taking time to highlight the benefits of renewable fuels and declare September Renewable Fuels Month at Husker Harvest Days,” said Alan Tiemann, chairman of the Nebraska Corn Board and a farmer from Seward. “Corn ethanol and soy biodiesel are clean burning renewable fuels that provide important benefits to rural communities across Nebraska, the entire state and to the country as a whole. We are excited to highlight their successes and continued opportunities.”
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
