The biofuels industry in the state has been taking some large hits, but the Iowa Legislature came together to unanimously pass S.F. 2403 in both chambers and extend the biofuels tax differentials until 2026. This win shows the industry that the State government supports them without any partisan divide. On Tuesday, Governor Kim Reynolds signed the bill into law at Pine Lake Corn Processors at Steamboat Rock Iowa.
