OMAHA — Ethanol producers on Wednesday railed against what they described as a smear campaign by opponents who have branded the industry as responsible for rising food prices.
“Today, we face strong opposition, and their weapon primarily is the press,” Bob Scott, president of the American Coalition for Ethanol, told hundreds of producers gathered in Omaha for the group’s trade show.
Scott’s statement came less than a week after the Environmental Protection Agency gave the industry good news by refusing to cut the federal ethanol mandate.
