Rep. RoseMarie Swanger (R-Lebanon) and the Penn State Cooperative Extension will hold a free biofuels seminar May 18, at the Penn State Extension Office in the Lebanon County Agricultural Center, 2120 Cornwall Road, Lebanon.

The event will be held from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

The agenda includes discussions on corn ethanol and soy diesel and their impact on Pennsylvania markets and local producers.

“We have assembled an excellent panel of speakers,” said Rep. Swanger. “There will be something for everyone, from the farmer who is the key to the source of these fuels to the company that will produce the fuels to the consumer who wants us to be less dependent on foreign oil.”

The seminar is free and open to the public, but seating is limited. If interested in attending, contact Swanger’s district office at 717-277-2101.
