  • 45Z Could Change Farming… But No One Fully Understands It Yet
    Apr 8 2026

    Here’s what we do know:

    • It’s a tax credit tied to renewable fuels
    • The money goes to fuel producers — not farmers directly
    • It’s tied to something called a CI Score (Carbon Intensity)
    • Lower CI scores could mean more value tied to your grain

    But after that…

    👉 Things get murky fast.

    We talk through:

    • What 45Z is actually trying to accomplish
    • How it could impact corn, soybeans, and aviation fuel demand
    • Why farmers might benefit indirectly
    • The role of carbon intensity scores (CI scores)
    • How practices like no-till, manure, and efficiency factor in
    • Why tracking and verification could be a major hurdle
    • The reality that rules are still being written while the program is live

    And then we get real about the concerns:

    • Will farmers actually see any of the money?
    • Is this just hype… or a real opportunity?
    • Could it raise land rents and input competition instead?
    • What happens if it disappears after 2027?

    This episode isn’t about having all the answers.

    It’s about asking the right questions.

    📢 We Need Your Help

    We’re building a future episode with real experts on 45Z.
