CINCINNATI (AP) - U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack is
traveling in Ohio to talk about a jet fuel project and food-related research.
His
Wednesday trip to Cincinnati is meant to highlight his department's
collaboration with General Electric Aviation, air carriers and other partners
on a regional approach to offer renewable jet fuel. GE Aviation is based in the
Cincinnati suburb of Evendale.
A
Department of Agriculture grant will help researchers refine jet fuel from
soybean oil in a pilot project at Ohio State University in Columbus, where
Vilsack is scheduled to visit Thursday to tour a food-related research
facility.
Vilsack
also will stop Wednesday in Washington Court House to mark national home
ownership month and see a housing development with homes financed through a
USDA program.
