Farm Bureau, the largest advocate fof agriculture. Its not just a single commodoty interest group, though I belong to them to for the things I raise (NCBA and AFGC). While a lot of people associate Farm Bureau with its insurance business the insurance is actually a member service of the the federation. At the national level they have lobbiest and advocacy people in Washington looking out for our interests. At the state level, I am sure it varies state to state but every year I hear legislators here talk about how they are THE lobbying group in the state capitol. Policy is developed at the county level and voted up, rather than dictated nationally. I've been active for 17 years, and been on the county board of directors here for the last 9.

As to biodiesel. My supplier only has B10 and B20. You cant even get straight petroleum diesel any more from him. He sells B10 in the winter and B20 in the summer. I havent seen a downside. Local rock quarry was in all kinds of air quality trouble. They switched to the B20 blend and got back into compliance with only a fuel change and have gone from running 4 hrs a day to 16. Compaired to the new 'dry' diesel, I'd a lot rather have it.
