May 16, 2025: Planting Progress, Livestock Border Closed, & the Future of 45Z
Summer weather hits early as farmers push ahead with planting. We cover rapid planting pace, the USDA’s emergency livestock border closure over Screwworm concerns, and a major new U.S.-UK trade deal. Plus, ransomware attacks on the rise for U.S. agriculture, the House proposes significant SNAP cuts, and the 45Z biofuels tax credit may receive a four-year extension.
Then we sit down with Geoff Cooper, President and CEO of the Renewable Fuels Association, to talk about the future of E15 and what the 45Z extension means for the industry.
