The USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service is predicting a 5% decline in corn planted acres for 2024, according to the agency’s annual Prospective Plantings report, which was released March 28.
Siouxland Energy Cooperative of Sioux Center, Iowa, and Continuum Ag of Washington, Iowa, have announced an agreement to provide farmers a path to receive potential premiums associated with carbon intensity (CI) certified grain.
Legislation introduced in the Illinois Senate aims to create a technology-neutral clean fuel standard (CFS) that would reduce the carbon intensity of transportation fuels by 20% by 2038.
The USDA recently released its Grain Crushings and Co-Products Production report for March, reporting that corn use for fuel ethanol production in January was down when compared to both the previous month and January 2023.
U.S. Grains Council staff recently traveled to Maputo, Mozambique and met with high-ranking government officials from the U.S. and Mozambique to discuss the country’s intention to implement a 10 percent ethanol fuel blend by August.
