The RFS [the Renewable Fuel Standard, which requires corn-based ethanol] is a major issue that White House hopefuls are forced to address whenever they visit Iowa, the No. 1 corn-producing state.

Rick Santorum, who won the Iowa caucuses in 2012, ticked off what he called a "laundry list" of benefits, including more energy independence and more jobs for farmers. "It is very important for rural Americans," said the former senator from Pennsylvania.
