Year-round E-15 gas - What Minnesota wants

Aug 23, 2023

Did you know there's a type of gas called E-15? It's a little different and might be better for our world. In Minnesota, they want to sell this gas every day, but right now, they can't.

Brian Werner, from the Minnesota Biofuels Association, is one of the people who wants this change. Together with 24 other groups, they wrote a letter asking for permission to sell E-15 all the time.

Not just them, even some leaders from the Midwest want this! They talked to the EPA, a big group that looks after our environment. These leaders believe they can make the change because of a special clean air law.

There’s a tiny problem though. An old EPA rule says no E-15 gas sales in the summer months, between June and September. But Brian thinks this rule needs an update. The good news is that this summer, they got a chance to sell E-15 because of a special rule.

Minnesota is the leader in selling E-15. They have about 430 places where you can buy it. If the rule changes, it might make a lot of Minnesotans happy.

Video: Farm Health Guardian | Digital Biosecurity in Real Time

Disease risk, biosecurity, and real-time monitoring continue to be major topics across the pork industry. In this episode of Swine Web Industry Perspectives, presented by Farm Health Guardian, we discuss how digital biosecurity and real-time data are changing the way producers think about herd protection, people movement, and operational decision-making.

The conversation explores:

disease risk in modern pork production,

the impact of people movement on biosecurity,

the importance of real-time monitoring,

digital biosecurity technology,

and how Farm Health Guardian developed tools designed to support modern swine operations.

As the industry continues focusing on prevention, preparedness, and operational efficiency, connected technologies and actionable data are becoming increasingly important parts of modern herd health management.
