Iowa Farmers and Biodiesel Producers Gain Ground as EPA Proposes Restoring 100% of Exempted Gallons: tinyurl.com/2hp8n2a8
Doug Struyk named new executive director of Iowa Biodiesel Board; Ron Lutovsky new chair: iowabiodiesel.org/the-newsro… #biodiesel
We're off and running for the Iowa Biodiesel Regional Annual Meeting in Ankeny, IA! We thank Sen. Dan Dawson and @IowaAgSec Mike Naig for visiting with us. "Biodiesel isn't only good for Iowa's ag economy; it's good for Iowa's entire economy," Naig said.
Check out this new Powered by B30 video by @JohnDeere! We are proud to support this demonstration of higher blends of #biodiesel along with @IowaSoybeans. youtu.be/GbqrNDyz6cg?si=3eJz…
Today @EPA granted a new round of small refinery exemptions for the 2025 #RFS compliance year said it intends to propose and finalize a supplemental rule this fall to reallocate the exempted gallon-equivalent to 2026 and 2027 RFS volumes. Our Statement: iowabiodiesel.org/the-newsro…
These #RFS exemptions would erase an est. 500M gallons of biomass-based diesel demand we were counting on. Iowa alone processed close to 1.7 billion pounds of soybean oil last year into more than 220 million gallons of #biodiesel. @SecRollins, @epaleezeldin, @WhiteHouse
Demand for this soybean crop matters to me and our farm. Biodiesel provides an important domestic market, especially when farmers are already facing a difficult farm economy. We need policies that strengthen that demand, not put it at risk. @SecRollins @epaleezeldin @WhiteHouse
IBB urges Trump administration to reverse course on reports of massive #RFS exemptions to oil companies, warning it could devastate #biodiesel companies just now on the rebound: iowabiodiesel.org/the-newsro…

Government regulations have a big impact on farms' bottom lines.
That's why we created the Grassroots Fellowship. It's a one-year program that connects young soybean farmers with Iowa's government and legislative process.
See if you (or someone you know) is a good fit and learn more about the program: hubs.li/Q04nZ3Ct0

Soybean oil remains a big part of the renewable fuels conversation. 🌱
On last week's Ag News Daily episode, Kurt Kovarik, vice president of federal affairs for Clean Fuels Alliance America (@CleanFuelsAA), discussed the growing demand for soybean oil, renewable fuels policy and what it means for U.S. agriculture.

"Fuel-performance Issues? Don't Blame Biodiesel" A good article on fuel testing and protocol from @MichiganSoybean, featuring the Iowa Fuel Central Testing Lab, a nationwide leader in #biodiesel and other fuel testing: biobased-diesel.com/post/fue… – at Missouri, USA
On the Hill this week, one stop was with @RepMMM to express support for her Renewable Fuel for Oceangoing Vessels Act. Would allow #biodiesel in some marine applications to qualify for #RFS credits. Huge potential! @IowaSoybeans @iowafuel @CleanFuelsAA
IBB in DC this week, grateful to the administration and Iowa leadership in House & Senate for the support of higher RVOs, certainty in 45Z Clean Fuel Production Credit, and future growth for #biodiesel. @ChuckGrassley @SenJoniErnst @IowaSoybeans @iowafuel @CleanFuelsAA

We've all aged a few years ⌛ waiting for this, but the 2026 Farm Bill just passed the House.
It still heads to the Senate, but this is a step in the right direction. What's actually in it for farmers and what got left behind? Take a look ▶️ hubs.li/Q04f6KN-0
