MADISON, WI (WTAQ) – Governor Scott Walker has at least two more trips planned for Iowa over the next few weeks.
He’s one of at least four potential White House candidates scheduled to speak at the Iowa Ag Summit in Des Moines. Walker also plans to speak at a fundraiser on April 24th at Northwestern Iowa Community College, before speaking to the Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition the next day.
At the Ag Summit, it’s been reported that the candidates will be pressed on whether they support an expansion of the Renewable Fuel Standard, to require gasoline to have a larger percentage of ethanol.
Walker has avoided a stance, as Wisconsin has competing interests. Corn farmers would benefit from the change, while makers of small engines say it could wreck the units that power things like snowblowers and lawnmowers.
