The USDA is seeking public input to help with the creation of the Higher Blends Infrastructure Incentive Program. Iowa has had a similar state program for over ten years. Iowa Biodiesel Board Executive Director Grant Kimberely says it’s been very successful.

He says having a federal program like USDA is proposing will help increase biodiesel use across the country.

Kimberely says there is a tight window for comments to be made on the USDA proposal. So, he’s encouraging people to make their views known.

Comments close on January 30.
