Jake Johnson: “Our guy can’t deliver” on year-round E15
This morning, Jake Johnson was quoted in the Minnesota Star Tribune in an article titled “D.C. Republicans struggle to cut deal for ethanol expansion, risking wrath from farmers.”
Excerpt from Star Tribune article:
Finstad, a farmer who sits on the House Agriculture Committee, had said it was “disappointing” that the House funding package did not include an E-15 provision. His office did not return multiple requests for a comment on this story.
Jake Johnson, a Rochester teacher challenging Finstad, said last week farmers are closely watching what happens to E-15’s fate, as the district grows 3 million acres of corn annually.
“The fact that our guy [Finstad] can’t deliver is a point of frustration,” Johnson said.
