Corn’s use for ethanol extends the U.S. energy supply and saves the typical American family as much as $1,500 per year, Iowan Tim Recker told U.S. senators at an agriculture committee hearing on Aug. 18.

“The Renewable Fuels Standard is as good for U.S. consumers as it is for corn growers,” said Recker, who is president of the Iowa Corn Growers Association. He noted that the share of the food dollar that goes to farmers is now so small that a bowl of corn flakes and milk contains less than two cents worth of corn.
