Illinois farmers hear priorities of November election candidates

Senator Tammy Duckworth

Biofuels, inheritance taxes, energy policy and the state budget were top priorities addressed by candidates during the 2022 Illinois Ag Legislative Roundtable Candidate Forum.

Senator Tammy Duckworth opened her comments with support for biofuel incentives.

“I do support a long-term extension of the blenders credit (biodiesel tax credit). I think it is critical ad it can’t just be a renewal for 2 or 5 years. It has to be a long-term extension and I absolutely support it.”

Republican candidate for US Senator Kathy Salvi focused on taxes.
