There are more warning signs that year-round E15 legislation is in trouble. Michigan Democratic Senator Elissa Slotkin told USDA Secretary Rollins at a recent hearing that strong influence from interest groups is stalling year-round E15. https://d30hko96l9xirl.cloudfront.net/Iowamediafolder/2026/06/061926-slotkin-1.mp3 According to Slotkin, there is an urgent need for Rollins to personally engage with senators to get year-round E15 to the president’s desk. https://d30hko96l9xirl.cloudfront.net/Iowamediafolder/2026/06/061926-slotkin-2.mp3 Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley showed concerns about Congress having to rely on temporary solutions that would not allow year-round E15 to becoming a law. Senate Majority Leader John Thune painted just such a scenario when we asked about that threat. https://d30hko96l9xirl.cloudfront.net/Iowamediafolder/2026/06/061926-thune-3.mp3 The ongoing political polarization in Congress again threatens government funding and top farm issues like E15 and a farm bill.
