Saying it is a win-win for American farmers, the Illinois Farm Bureau is commending the federal government’s decision to support the ethanol industry over biofuel waivers granted to oil refineries.
The Environmental Protection Agency said it is reversing course and will support a decision by a U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver in a lawsuit filed by the Renewable Fuels Association and farm groups.
Federal law requires refiners to blend billion of gallons of biofuels in the country’s gasoline supply or buy credits from refineries that blend fuels. Refineries can seek waivers if they can show that meeting the ethanol quotas would create financial hardship for their companies.

With the weather getting chillier and snow increasing in the forecast, I thought it would be appropriate to share tips for safer and easier winter fuel delivery from Stephenson Service Co. If you utilize Facebook, please give both the Stephenson County Farm Bureau and Stephenson Service Co. a like. Their tips include marking your tanks, as fuel tanks can often become covered in snow; use an indicator that makes it easier for your delivery driver to find and fill your tank. Keep an eye on your tank levels. Keep your regulator clear of snow as this could impact the tank reading and safety. Be sure to clear a path to your tank; this will help the delivery drive maneuver equipment easier. Plow, salt and sand driveways, sidewalks and walkways to prevent and/or reduce slippery conditions.
