# Policy priorities of Iowa soybean farmers

> The Iowa Soybean Association is urging the Iowa Legislature to pass House File 2279 or Senate File 2403 before the biodiesel and E15 fuel tax differentials expire on June 30. Iowa's B11-and-higher and E15-and-higher blends now make up a large share of sales.
