US agriculture chief to visit Cincinnati, Columbus


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.
