Support Iowa Jobs, Farmers and Local Communities

The Iowa Senate has introduced new legislation led by Sen. Klimesh that would support Iowa jobs, farmers and local communities by providing a clear path forward for responsible CO₂ pipeline development.

Lawmakers need to hear directly from Iowans who want to keep these projects moving forward and ensure Iowa remains competitive in emerging low carbon markets. Your message will go to your Iowa state representative and state senator and will urge them to support Sen. Klimesh’s proposal and keep Iowa open for investment.

Dear [Lawmaker],

$q1::
Please support Senator Klimesh’s proposal to expand voluntary pipeline corridors so landowners have more options and Iowa farmers can keep competing.
This proposal is about flexibility and common sense. By allowing projects to work with a wider group of landowners, it increases the chances of reaching voluntary agreements and lowers the need for eminent domain. That’s better for landowners and better for Iowa.
CO2 pipeline infrastructure matters because it helps keep ethanol plants running and opens the door to new markets like sustainable aviation fuel. When corn prices are under pressure and margins are tight, those markets make a real difference for farmers and rural communities.
Iowa used to lead the nation in corn and ethanol. Today, other states are moving faster, building infrastructure, attracting investment, and giving their farmers more opportunities. If Iowa stands still, we fall behind.
Done responsibly, CO2 pipeline development brings private investment, good-paying construction jobs, and long-term economic activity to rural areas. 
With corn prices down and many farmers losing more than a dollar per bushel, access to new markets and modern infrastructure can mean the difference between staying in business or being forced out.
I encourage you to support Senator Klimesh’s proposal and policies that protect landowner choice, strengthen farm income, and keep rural Iowa moving forward.

Sincerely,
______
