As part of the grand opening, Country Partners will have specials on e10, e20, e30 and e85 beginning at 10:00 a.m. and lasting until 2:00 p.m. In addition to the fuel specials, door prizes and drawings will be held as well as a BBQ served by the local FFA chapter.
Country Partner’s new blender pump was financially supported in part by the Nebraska Corn Board through its blender pump grant program offered to those looking at installing blender pumps in Nebraska. Blender pumps offer the flexibility of mid-level blends of ethanol (like e20 or e30) for flex fuel vehicle (FFV) owners.
“With the incentive being offered by the Nebraska Corn Board and the growing number of flex fuel vehicles being driven across the U.S., blender pumps are one avenue to help get the ethanol industry past the blend wall,” said Curt Friesen, a farmer from Henderson and a member of the Nebraska Corn Board.
In addition to the Nebraska Corn Board's incentive, other credits are available for those installing blender pumps, including federal tax incentive that runs through the end of the year.
In addition to support from the Nebraska Corn Board, the Country Partner’s blender pump was supported by Green Plains Renewable Energy and Growth Energy.
