Sen. Deb Fischer urged the Senate to pass the Agricultural Act of 2026, arguing that its year-round E15 provision would benefit farmers and give fuel sellers and consumers more choice. The article says Sen. John Boozman is seeking an agreement on the farm bill with Democrats and House leaders.
Fischer urged passage of the Agricultural Act of 2026, also called the Farm Bill, and said permanent year-round E15 would provide a predictable market for farmers, ethanol plants, and fuel stations. She argued that the provision gives retailers and consumers a choice rather than imposing a mandate, and said E15 is safe in cars made in 2001 or later.
The article says the agriculture committee advanced the bill and that Congress had not passed a full farm bill since 2018. It reports that Agriculture Committee Chairman John Boozman was trying to reach an agreement with Democrats and House leaders during the October recess.
