The Delaware Soybean Board once again promoted soy-based biodiesel at the 2013 World Championship Punkin Chunkin Championship held in the first weekend in November. The chunk uses B5, which is a five percent blend of biodiesel with 95 percent petroleum diesel, in the generators which power the light towers.
“Showcasing biodiesel at an event like Punkin Chunkin is a great way to demonstrate its versatility,” said Susanne Zilberfarb, executive director of the Delaware Soybean Board.
Zilberfarb worked with Jeff Wheatley, a former Delaware Soybean Board member and owner of Wheatley Farms, which hosts the chunk, to arrange the sponsorship. Here, Wheatley shakes hands with Susanne Zilberfarb, executive director of the Delaware Soybean Board, before the 2012 Chunk.
