Ask the IUC: Set a Hearing for Iowa Farmers' Futures

Encourage the Iowa Utilities Commission to set a hearing for 15 open dockets to provide carbon and ethanol developments for Iowa communities and farmers.

Send your letter below!

To the Iowa Utilities Commission,

Expanding ethanol demand is critical to strengthening Iowa’s agricultural economy at a time when farmers are facing tight margins, volatile commodity prices, and increasing pressure on rural communities. Access to carbon capture and transportation infrastructure allows ethanol producers to remain competitive, protects corn demand, and opens the door to emerging markets such as sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) that offer long-term growth opportunities for Iowa agriculture.

The Summit Carbon Solutions project is designed to expand market access for ethanol, stabilize farm income, and support continued investment in Iowa’s rural economy. These benefits extend beyond individual facilities, helping ensure the long-term viability of ethanol plants, preserving jobs, and strengthening the tax base in communities across the state.

Timely Commission action is essential to provide regulatory certainty for farmers, ethanol producers, and other stakeholders who are making significant, long-term investments based on this proceeding. Setting a scheduling conference at this time is necessary to keep the process moving forward in an orderly and efficient manner.

Accordingly, I respectfully request that the Iowa Utilities Commission set a hearing for the following Summit Carbon Solutions dockets:
