The ethanol industry was built by grassroots people fighting to create a better future for themselves, their neighbors, and their communities. As a member-driven organization, ACE brings together these diverse individuals, people rooted in their communities and committed to each other. While COVID-19 is the worst crisis the ethanol industry has ever faced, ACE members are once again showing their grit and resilience. ACE’s new “Rooted” series shines a light on the ways the ethanol industry is stepping up to strengthen rural America and inspiring us to support one another.
