Farmers: Don’t Miss This Opportunity — Plan to Attend August 18, 2026

What is the Regenerative Biofuel Feedstock Rule? The new USDA rule creates a framework to measure and verify how farming practices such as no-till, cover crops and fertilizer management can lower the carbon intensity of crops used to produce biofuels. Why does it matter? For farmers, these practices could create new market opportunities and additional value for their crops. For GLE, it matters because the carbon intensity of the corn we purchase can impact the carbon intensity of the ethanol we produce. Lower-carbon corn can help support lower-carbon, higher-value ethanol. Why attend? The webinar will explain how the program works, what practices may qualify, how benefits will be measured and what opportunities it could create for producers and the biofuel industry. Tuesday, August 18 | 1:30–3:00 p.m. CT
