Biodiesel Board past chairman reflects on growth

A few years ago, Illinois soybean grower Darryl Brinkmann chaired the National Biodiesel Board and is still on the governing board of the organization. His involvement and that of soybean growers all over the U.S. was prompted by what the renewable fuel might do for soybean oil demand. It did what they wanted it to do. Even though there are other feedstocks used to make the renewable fuel (virtually any fat will do), Brinkmann says the abundance of soybean oil makes it likely that it will continue to be the dominant biodiesel feedstock.
