Radloff to Chair Midwest Ag Energy Summit

from Wisconsin Biodiesel Association news service:

The Second Annual Conference of the Midwest Ag Energy Network is scheduled for February 5-6 at Monona Terrace Convention Center in Madison. Gary Radloff from the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) has been chosen to Chair this year's event.

Last year's event in St. Paul was well-attended by representatives of renewable energy agencies from state and federal government along with an impressive group of industry stakeholders from throughout the Midwest. US Secretary of Ag Collin Peterson addressed the group to discuss the pending Farm Bill. Meanwhile, an effective series of breakout sessions explored the creation of state and federal policies in support of biofuels and other renewable energy. A recap of last year's conference, including a full summit report on recommendations and findings, can be accessed here.

This conference in Madison should provide terrific opportunity to learn what's on the horizon for the further development of our country's renewable energy industry. WBA encourages you to make arrangements now to attend.
