Policy forum to discuss energy, food prices

Nebraska

The Nebraska Ethanol Board, in cooperation with the University of Nebraska Center for Energy Science Research, is hosting a policy forum to discuss issues of rising energy and food prices.

The forum will provide an opportunity for Nebraska policymakers and consumers to better understand how ethanol policy plays a role in economic development, energy security, agriculture and the environment.

The Nebraska Ethanol Board is inviting presentations from a diverse group of people, including corn growers, restaurant owners and livestock feeders. Confirmed presenters include Dr. Ken Cassman of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Dr. Terry Klopfenstein of UN-L, Michael Kelsey of the Nebraska Cattlemen, Jon Holzfaster of the Nebraska Corn Board, and Jim Jenkins, rancher, restaurateur and chairman of the Nebraska Ethanol Board.

The forum is scheduled for Oct. 24 at 9 a.m., at the Scott Conference Center, 6450 Pine Street, Omaha.

Established in 1971, the Ethanol Board assists ethanol producers with programs and strategies for marketing ethanol and related co-products. The board supports organizations and policies that advocate the increased use of ethanol fuels--and administers public information, education and ethanol research projects. The board also assists companies and organizations in the development of ethanol production facilities in Nebraska. For more information, please visit www.ne-ethanol.org.
