Fly-In | American Coalition for Ethanol

Every year, ACE brings ordinary, hard-working people from all corners of ethanol industry to Washington, DC to meet with members of Congress and their staffs. It’s one of our flagship efforts to humanize our industry and deliver the story of grit and passion from the people who know it best. Congress is eager to hear from real people, and participants say their visit to Capitol Hill is one the highlights of their lives.

The annual ACE Fly-In is one of the most effective means to promote ethanol where it counts.

“The ACE fly-in has been crucial for ethanol’s continued success in the renewable fuels market. Showcasing America’s farmers has been a rewarding experience and one I always look forward to. With continued climate-smart farming practices, hardworking people and broader market access, ethanol will continue to be a major contributor in reducing greenhouses emissions. ACE has been a leader in ethanol education on the Hill and a major supporter for renewable fuel industry.”

"Meeting with congressional representatives during the ACE fly-in was a wonderful experience. It not only provided us the opportunity to speak on a topic we feel passionate about to individuals who can influence policy, but in many cases, it also allowed us to educate individuals on the benefits and misunderstandings surrounding ethanol."

"Now is the time to tell ethanol's story of being beneficial to the air we breathe. As citizens demand a cleaner environment, the ethanol industry is positioned to meet those demands. The ‘real’ science needs to be out there about the low carbon footprint of corn ethanol as well. There's no better platform to do this than the ACE fly-in."

-Troy Knecht, ACE Board Member Representing Redfield Energy, Farmer
