Many in person meetings with @GovLauraKelly, her staff, and great partners with @RenewKansas and dozens of emails. The admin knows this simple action would provide certainly and allow @kscorn to recruit additional stations. But once again this administration turns it back on KS ag and consumers.

After initially joining, Kansas later backed out b/c Missouri wasn’t part of the E15 bloc, while Gov. Kelly said she would rejoin if Missouri did. Missouri did. Yet year after year, Kansas didn’t rejoin. Then, as recently as late Feb 2026, the Governor suggested Kansas would opt out if Congress didn’t act by yesterday. She didn’t. Now Kansas fuel retailers are left again w/o certainty on whether they’ll be able to sell E15 in summer 2027, certainty Gov. Kelly could have secured with the stroke of a pen. It unfortunately means station growth will stall & consumers will pay more for fuel. With today’s high fuel prices, state of our farm economy, bushels matter & gallons of biofuels like ethanol matter. This didn’t have to happen.

E15 fuel economy back center stage. Here are MPG results from California testing. Average loss was 1.3% but note some saw MPG gain! The fuel is averaging a national discount of 8% today. Your cost per mile goes down with E15 - there is no debate. Add ethanol - octane goes up, cost goes down.

I have good luck spraying with Grazon and Remedy in the spring/summer then cut the following year. If you catch them small they'll rot in place and no need to clip. For larger ones I cut a band around the base of the trunk and spray the cut with Tordon, wait until they're completely dead to cut. Both of these methods SUCK, but once you get ahead of them spraying the small ones is easy.

Great day in Topeka today with the KS Senate passing the ethanol tax credit bill 38-1! I didn’t have it on my bingo card that a tax credit for the purchase of gun safes would be amended! However, as a shooting sports instructor that teaches firearm safety to youth, I can get behind that!
Special thanks to our partners at @RenewKansas and of course Senator @CarynTysonKS, Chair of the Senate Tax Committee for hearing and carrying the legislation.
Looking forward to working with the house to get this across the line!

Kansas corn farmers need markets—and they need them now.
The Kansas Corn Growers Association appreciates Representatives Tracey Mann and Sharice Davids voting in favor of the Farm Bill in the House Agriculture Committee this week. But we remain frustrated by the continued lack of progress toward year-round access to E15.
At a time when farm country is facing serious economic pressure, expanding access to E15 would create critical demand for corn, strengthen rural economies and provide consumers with a lower-cost fuel option.

Last week, Kansas Corn staff and farmer leaders attended the U.S. Grains & BioProducts Council’s 23rd International Marketing Conference and 66th Annual Membership Meeting.
This winter meeting was focused on working with USGBC’s international staff to develop global market strategy and share feedback from farmers and industry on market concerns and opportunities.
Kansas Corn has farmer and staff leaders serving on all seven advisory teams helping guide this work year-round. Their work is not over. Watch for A-Team updates on how we’re building demand for Kansas corn. 🌽

California gasoline has stayed relatively expensive for this time of year, offering FFV drivers continued savings on E85. This picture is from Riverside, taken yesterday.

@DrJeffColyer Thank you sir! It was my honor to serve Kansas under your leadership, a cornerstone of my career. I have many fond memories driving long hours with you across the state, listening to concerns and finding solutions!

We were home this afternoon so Will was able to accomplish his first solo welding project, a ridiculously over built boot scraper for the farm. Built with some scrap angle from a pivot and a 75+ year old edge from a v-blade. Don't need him getting used to working with new metal!

Someone sent a text on our company jet pack. Don’t think I’ll be making it.

@Moore1Kent @kscorn I know for a fact my bat wing shredder has covered more acres than the combine this year so far! We did get some corn picked this weekend....IF you count the 500 ears Will and I picked by hand for the @kansascornSTEM kits!

Neck and neck on the number of hours these machines have logged this fall in NW Pratt Co KS. @kscorn

@BHobelmann I think I see my corn in that pile! Got the last of our wet corn delivered there yesterday. Hopefully yields coming in good for you, have a safe harvest!

🌽 Big win for farmers! MAHA’s new report backs science, with no additional and unnecessary actions against atrazine and glyphosate, two pesticides that help growers control weeds and are vital tools for sustainability practices. 👏 See how KCGA farmer voices made an impact 👉 kscorn.com/2025/09/09/mah…

Went to Texas to see my new nephew this weekend. I was holding him during his first ever KSU FB kickoff! He threw up all over me shortly after kickoff, guess he knew what was coming! Told my sister it's fine now but if he does it to me when he's in college I'll tell him he needs to switch to water!
