1Opinion of the Court
CADY, Justice.
The petitioners in this action requested the Iowa Secretary of Agriculture to adopt an administrative rule to require all gasoline sold in Iowa to contain ten percent ethanol. The Secretary denied the request after determining she had no legal authority to adopt the rule. The district court affirmed the Secretary’s decision on judicial review. On appeal, we conclude the rulemaking authority of the secretary of agriculture does not extend to the promulgation of a rule requiring motor fuel to contain ten percent ethanol. We affirm the district court.
