According to a press release from USDA, Perdue will join Senator Charles Grassley at the Ankeny Casey’s at 1024 East First Street at 3:10 p.m. The expected funding announcement will increase American ethanol and biofuel sales, and was made available through the Higher Blends Infrastructure Incentive Program (HBIIP).
