As an Iowa State University student in an agriculture-focused major, I am passionate about subjects that benefit agriculture, Iowans and Americans in general. One very pertinent subject is the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). The goal of the RFS is to produce clean energy products, which not only benefits Iowans but people worldwide. The RFS makes a large impact while supporting Iowa’s farmers, the future careers of my fellow students, myself and more than 73,000 pre-existing jobs. 

The RFS develops cleaner and cheaper fuel that lessens our dependence on foreign oil. We as Iowans know how important it is to be good stewards of our resources, to promote sustainability as consumers, and to select others who follow those same goals. With the upcoming elections, I urge you to support a candidate who will in turn support the RFS. Working to enhance and better America is something that we should all be proud of.
