I sure hope the Trump admin won’t give small refinery exemptions at a near record level Would only help petroleum refiners making record profits Shld help families at the pump instead

Mr president this is an issue of helping farmers over BIG OIL

[Chuck Grassley @ChuckGrassley]

The last time EPA granted small refinery exemptions at the rumored scale (1.8Billion) the biofuel industry lost over $6 billion +renewable fuel credits collapsed by up to 78% And gas prices actually went UP 12% Farmers lost. Refiners won. Consumers got nothing

You see 1 stem from 1 bean plant & a bean pod closed &1 open. I opened to show u 3 beans developing very well. On a previous picture I told you if we get enough rain in August these beans are pretty big /without rain sometimes as small as BBs #soybeanwatch 1/2
