During a sparsely attended anti-pipeline protest at the Iowa Capitol, a number of bills were introduced that would destroy Iowa farmers’ ability to compete in growing, low carbon biofuels markets in the U.S. and around the world. Iowa Renewable Fuels Association Executive Director Monte Shaw made the following statement:
“This muddle of bills is a slap in the face to the supermajority of Iowa landowners who support carbon capture pipelines. At a time when farm income has declined by $90 billion, we should be helping Iowa farmers access new and growing markets, not choking off their ability to participate. These actions represent wrong policy at the wrong time.”
