(Des Moines)– A local company is getting some special recognition from Iowa Ag Secretary Bill Northey for its efforts to market ethanol.
Roger Baschke of Green Plains Energy of Everly is this year’s recipient of the Secretary’s Ethanol Marketing Award.
Baschke and Green Plains were recognized for making E10 available to customers since the early 1980’s. They have since expanded their fuel offerings to include E85.
Green Plains is also currently in the process of installing blender pumps in an effort to make additional blends of ethanol available.
Baschke was nominated for the award by the Iowa Corn Promotion Board and the Iowa Corn Grower’s Association.
