- ICYMI: Last week, I attended the @IowaFuel Summit to announce $19 million in grants to U.S. business owners to increase the availability of domestic biofuels in 22 states, made possible with funding from @POTUS’ Inflation Reduction Act. https://agriculture.com/vilsack-announces-details-of-biofuels-funding-8425651
- By increasing the supply of biofuels made in the U.S., @USDA is strengthening our energy independence, lowering costs for American families, creating new streams of income for ag producers, and bringing good-paying jobs to people in rural communities.
