18 OCTOBER 2019 - CRAWFORDSVILLE, IOWA: US Senator AMY KLOBUCHAR (D-MN) looks at the uniforms left by laid off workers at W2 Fuel, a biodiesel refinery that used soybeans to make biodiesel. W2 Fuel closed about a month ago because of low demand for biofuels, brought on by the number of biofuels waivers the US EPA has given to petroleum refineries. Sen. Klobuchar is on barnstorming bus tour of southeast Iowa this weekend. She is campaigning to be the Democratic nominee for the US Presidency. In addition to campaign meet and greet events, she stopped at a biofuels plant to learn about the difficulties farmers and biofuels producers face because of the trade war with China. Iowa holds the first selection event of the Presidential election cycle. The Iowa caucuses are Feb. 3, 2020.        PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
