Klobuchar Statement on EPA Announcement on Biofuel Blending Exemptions

MINNESOTA - U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) released the following statement after the EPA announced a plan to grant new small refinery exemptions under the Renewable Fuel Standard for the 2025 compliance year. "Farmers are already facing the headwinds of the President's tariffs, rising input costs from the war in Iran, and dwindling international markets, and now the Administration is choosing to damage another critical market for American farmers. I led bipartisan efforts to secure strong blending levels through both Republican and Democratic administrations and this announcement walks back that progress. I will continue to fight for stronger blending levels and a reallocation that helps Minnesota farmers." ###
