“I am very proud to be elected to the American Coalition for Ethanol Board of Directors,” Wilts said. “I have watched from a distance the great work ACE has been doing. I am very excited to help take ACE to new levels and drive the biofuels industry now and in the future. We need to tell our story about how ethanol is the answer to fuel, feed and foster interest and growth in climate-smart agriculture practices.”
