Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack held his last official press conference of his tenure at USDA on Wednesday, announcing the publication of an interim rule on Technical Guidelines for Climate-Smart Agriculture Crops Used as Biofuel Feedstocks. “First of all, there’s an additional crop in addition to corn and soybeans.
These vital programs operate in all fifty states and a failure to fund them in a farm bill or farm bill extension in 2024 negatively impacts countless farmers, ranchers, and food system stakeholders.
USDA has published an interim rule on Technical Guidelines for Climate-Smart Agriculture Crops Used as Biofuel Feedstocks that establishes guidelines for quantifying, reporting, and verifying the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the production of corn, soy, and sorghum.
Oil palms are primarily cultivated for their oil-rich fruit, which produces palm oil—a key ingredient in food, cosmetics, and biofuels. Oil palm farming is one of the most lucrative and essential agricultural practices worldwide.
billion pounds of soybean oil would be used in biofuel production. soybean oil usage trends During the 2014/15 marketing year, biofuel accounted for just 24% of soybean usage in the U.S. billion to biofuel, and 2.0 Wrapping it up Biofuels have been the only source of growth in soybean oil usage over the last decade.
Researchers at Princeton University and the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center modeled a supply chain for second-generation biofuels that addresses both the crop and processing aspects of biofuel production.
Farmers Weekly Teesside biofuel operator Ensus UK is to build a new £60m-£70m animal feed plant at its Wilton International plant, as one of a number of major new projects. The biorefinery already produces about 350,000t/year of dried distillers’ grains with solubles (DDGS) as a by-product, primarily used by UK cattle and pig farmers.

Without new demand for corn and soybeans, producers are facing a sideways market plateau that could last 10 years. Over the next decade, corn could be anchored in a $4.30 trading range and soybeans could be stuck in the same mud at $10.30
ADM and Syngenta Group have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to collaborate on the development of low carbon, next-generation oilseeds and improved varieties to help meet growing demand for biofuels fueled by sustainable aviation fuel.
Two years ago, it felt like every third article was about soybean oil , biofuels , and the unlimited potential. Perhaps due to lower commodity prices or the general attention span, soybean oil chatter has waned despite the biofuel trend continuing. billion that went to biofuels. In other words, this isn’t exactly a new trend.

These include: Crop insurance SNAP Some disaster programs Some commodity support programs The big problem is with dairy and a few other commodity support programs.
Change is coming, but slower than we need Compared to the 2017 census, no-till practices and cover crops were up but not at the rate needed to keep pace with climate change. Cover crop acres increased to 18 million total acres, a 17% increase, but when compared to total farmland, this represents only 6% of 300 million acres.
Pongamia growing in Central Florida Pongamia is a regenerative, permanent tree crop that stores carbon and produces a bean pod that can be used in turn to produce food, feed, and fuel. Terviva has been developing elite pongamia cultivars over 15 years of research trials spanning nearly 2,000 acres in Florida, Hawai’i and Australia.
