• Promote renewable fuels

• Give general consumers information about ethanol, specifically E85 market

• Indy Racing League (IRL) is running on 100% ethanol in the 2007 season

• Celebrating 30 years of the Iowa corn checkoff and the success of the ethanol industry we’ve worked so hard to build in the state.

• Iowa is the leader in corn and ethanol production and we are working to be the leader in renewable fuel usage.
