The biofuel sector is celebrating a big milestone today with the 20th anniversary of the Renewable Fuel Standard. Over the past two decades, it has created a high-demand market for farmers while boosting American-made renewable fuels.

Geoff Cooper with the Renewable Fuels Association joined RFD-TV’s Suzanne Alexander to discuss an overview of the RFS, the main benefits we have seen from this policy, and its impact it has had on our farmers and rural communities.
