To the editor:

Iowans know that ethanol plants and our farmer partners are stewards of the land who are committed to our local communities and consistently striving for growth.

Valero is committed to advancing the future of energy through innovation, ingenuity and unmatched execution. As the plant manager for Valero's Lakota Ethanol Plant, I'm proud that Valero is investing in low--carbon fuels projects, and working with Navigator CO2.
