Norton chair of Agricultural Marketing, offers a history lesson and a very informative update on 45Z and the broader renewable fuels sector. He discusses why the changes in tax credits in the OBBB will be beneficial to ethanol producers but detrimental to SAF. He discusses why ethanol may have a brief resurgence and why hybrid cars are a bigger threat to ethanol than full electric vehicles in the next several years. We finish up with some discussion on carbon intensity scores and Scott discusses why indirect land use charges related to CI scores may make sense in theory but in practice is unfair. </p>

Severe storms possible tomorrow afternoon in southwest Nebraska. Rain will be more persistent in the western third of the state over the weekend. Eastern section of the state likely to be dry both Saturday and Sunday afternoons/evenings. Rain chances statewide on Memorial Day, though the position of the upper level low will dictate how much rain (if any) falls. Cooler temperatures will be the rule the next several days, though Saturday afternoon may be in the 70's in southeast Nebraska if the sun is out.

We talk about the demise of La Nina, the status of the Southern Oscillation Index, and how the current phase of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) may be at least partly responsible for the string of warm, dry falls. We took a deep dive into the analog years and how years like 2006 and 2021 may be the best blueprint for this upcoming season. </p>

We had a great conversation covering several topics in the area of regenerative agriculture and water quality. As Jordan would say in a recent article he wrote, "It's all about water". How we manage our soils and inputs are critical to ensuring we have water in the future for our crops and our own consumption. Jordan's journey into regnerative agriculture stated in 2021 when he was trying to control a field of weeds and he offers 'GEE' for farmers who are looking to progress into regenerative practices: Goals, Education, and Execution. We also discuss the hindrances farmers face in getting started with regenerative practices and in some of the bigger issues facing agriculture today. </p>
