Missouri Governor Eric Greitens announced the release Thursday of $4 million in funds meant for Missouri biodiesel plants. The money was in arears after several years of the state’s general revenue fund running short, resulting in the state issuing I-O-Us to the plants. Governor Greitens credited the plants with helping the state’s farm economy.
“Missouri is the second largest biodiesel producer in the country,” Governor Grietens told the audience, gathered in a garden near the Governor’s Mansion.
