With a vote on the Energy Bill expected this week in the House, a Wednesday morning rally is being planned in support of increasing the Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS).

House Agriculture Committee Chairman Collin Peterson (D-MN) and Congressman Eliot Engel (D-NY) will host the media event which will include representatives from the Renewable Fuels Association and the National Biodiesel Board, as well as a variety of farm groups including the Farm Bureau, Farmers Union and corn, soybean, wheat and grain sorghum grower groups.

Others who will be showing support for the RFS include AMVETS, the Jewish Council for Public Affairs and the Truman National Security Project.
