USDA has announced another round of funding to help increase the use of biofuels.
Through its Higher Blends Infrastructure Investment Program, USDA will award $26 million to 23 states, including Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, and Wisconsin.
Deputy Undersecretary for Rural Development Justin Maxson says investments like these give consumers more environmentally friendly fuel choices and stimulate an important market for farmers.
Ron Lamberty with the American Coalition for Ethanol says HBIIP dollars are usually spent on installing E-85 pumps.
