Republican Congressman Aaron Schock gets a first-hand look at a crop that could change the future of fuel.
Schock says, “By us showing there is a buyer for the product, that helped ease and eliminate some of their concerns for why we need this insurance program. They have pledged their willingness to work with us to include pennycress in a new temporary insurance program for new crops.”
He said there’s already a group of entrepreneurs ready to build a facility that can use pennycress, to ensure farmers that if they grow it, someone will buy it.
