I wonder why?

The biodiesel tax credit lapsed at the end of last year and hasn't been renewed yet. The entire industry was having some difficult times but there are indications that things have started to look up since the beginning of July when new RFS requirements went into effect. Hopefully the numbers will have improved when the EIA releases the July numbers.
