The Biden administration's top farm czar announced millions of dollars in federal funding on Monday aimed at helping small and rural gas station service companies upgrade ethanol and biodiesel dispensers across the state, from an Amoco station in Evansville, Minn., to a cooperative near the Iowa border.
U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack was joined by Sens. Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith on a conference call - after weather woes in Washington, D.C., scuttled plans for a St. Paul event - to unveil 18 Minnesota businesses that will receive part of an additional $50 million to improve fuel dispensers for ethanol and biodiesel.
"By expanding the availability of homegrown biofuels, we are strengthening our energy independence, creating new market opportunities and revenue streams for American producers, and bringing good-paying jobs and other economic benefits to rural and farm communities," Vilsack said.
