Growers attending the Syngenta Learning Center in Milford, IA might have wished they could drive this car but they were content to grow the fuel that’s powering it around the track this season. The #17 Rahal Letterman show car was accompanied by Al Jentz, Amaizing Energy. Al is also on the board of the Ethanol Promotion and Information Council which manages the promotion of the car. He gave an overview of how things are going in the ethanol industry for the growers and retailers who were attending.

Al says that although he felt like he was preaching to the choir his presentation allowed corn growers to learn more about EPIC’s promotional activities and ask questions.

He also felt like he got to learn more about what Syngenta is doing to develop corn varieties that will make the ethanol production process more efficient.

Syngenta is also a member of EPIC.
