Biodiesel Program swings into Ottertail, MN for

"Smokin' Iron NTPA Nationals"
Perham Co-op offers discount to competitors on B-2 road fuel

Worthington, OH -- The "Smokin' Iron NTPA Nationals" in Ottertail, Minn. will offer some of the finest pulling of the Region III season as well as kick off the United Soybean Board/Soybean Checkoff program's tie-in promoting their "Fueling the 2008 NTPA Championship Pulling Season" slogan.

The event on June 13-14 has a special local tie-in with Perham Co-op Creamery Association, a sponsor of the event and participating NTPA competitors. Competitors can get their rigs filled with B-2 biodiesel in the Ottertail pit area by Perham's bulk truck on Saturday at a savings of $0.10 per gallon under the current market pump pricing. This arrangement was made between the Ottertail promoters and their local sponsor. The NTPA and USB/Soybean Checkoff program wish to thank them for their generosity.
