Growing biodiesel production facilities return value to farmers 

Biodiesel-production facilities like Western Iowa Energy are benefiting soybean growers and livestock producers.

Board Member Kevin Ross says Western Iowa Energy can turn multiple feedstocks into biodiesel.

“It’s a great opportunity for soybean oil and we process animal fats as well so we’ve been a multi-feedstock facility for several years,” he says.

The facility produces 45 million gallons annually.

He tells Brownfield growth in the industry returns value to producers.
