Resources

The EFI Foundation is pleased to host you for a multi-day field visit designed to give congressional staffers direct, on-the-ground exposure to how federal energy and agriculture policy translates into real investment and operational decisions. Attendees will visit ethanol biorefineries, corn farms, a dairy-based renewable natural gas facility, and electricity infrastructure — seeing firsthand how the policies they work on every day are shaping what gets built, how it operates, and what industries need from Washington to keep moving forward.

See below for information on the trip itinerary and a checklist of compliance forms to be completed in order to attend. This page will be regularly updated with further information and itinerary updates.
