Members of the Iowa Congressional delegation are inviting the new head of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to visit Iowa. Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley says he hopes Acting E-P-A Administrator Andrew Wheeler takes them up on the offer.

During his confirmation hearing, Wheeler pledged to fully support the R-F-S program and recognized it as “the law of the land.” The previous E-P-A director Scott Pruitt resigned earlier this month after being blamed for undermining ethanol and the R-F-S.

Grassley says corn prices have dropped below three-dollars a bushel at his home elevator in New Hartford. He says he’s “optimistic” Wheeler will work with Iowans to “maintain the integrity” of the R-F-S.
