The social-distancing and stay-at-home restrictions associated with COVID-19 continue to take a devastating toll on U.S. ethanol producers with about half of the industry’s capacity now idled.
But the good news is how those ethanol producers, their farmer-owners and employees, have turned around and put those idled plants to good use by helping those on the front lines fighting the virus.
In this Ethanol Report podcast, we get an update from Renewable Fuels Association (RFA) president and CEO Geoff Cooper on how the industry is being impacted by the crisis, and we talk to KAAPA Ethanol CEO Chuck Woodside about what they are doing to help and keep their spirits up at the same time.
