I know posting has been a little light here today but you can visit the Biodiesel Conference Blog if you want to see what I’ve been up to. For example, my buddy Luke Perry here did a press conference just a little while ago to publicly support this renewable fuel effort.

Here’s an agency that’s being up front about it. As their website says, “No agency can do justice to all segments of business. And we don’t try to. At Broadhead + Co, we focus on an audience we know very well: Rural America.
