WASHINGTON — the National Turkey Federation, in collaboration with its members, has submitted more than 1,500 comments to the Environmental Protection Agency requesting a full or substantial waiver of the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) in order to prevent an animal feed crisis and soaring food costs in the coming months.
The federation and its members asked EPA for a waiver for the remainder of 2012 and all of 2013, citing severe economic harm to the livestock and poultry industry and the nation as a whole.
“NTF collected more than 1,500 comments that spoke with one voice,” said NTF President. . .
