WEST DES MOINES, IA -At the Iowa Renewable Fuels Summit last week in Altoona, over one hundred Iowans signed a letter to the Iowa Legislature supporting SF 2067.

SF 2067 is a bipartisan bill aiming to balance landowner rights while allowing for innovation in Iowa agriculture. The bill would allow infrastructure developers to seek willing landowners outside a project's proposed route, reducing the need for eminent domain.

"The Iowa Renewable Fuels Association strongly urges the speedy passage of this legislation," said IRFA Policy Director Colin Gorton. "T his is a pragmatic, reasonable solution to dramatically lower the need for eminent domain, while still allowing Iowa agriculture to thrive."
