## Resource

USDA has released key guidance for the 45Z Clean Fuel Tax Credit, bringing farmers closer to receiving payments for regenerative farming practices. Ryan Pearcy of ARVA joins XtremeAg founder Kelly Garrett to explain how ethanol and biodiesel plants can reduce their carbon intensity (CI) scores by sourcing grain from farmers using practices such as no-till, cover crops, and reduced synthetic fertilizer. Farmers who qualify could see an estimated $30–$40 per acre in additional value, with even greater opportunities for operations that already have low CI scores. While Treasury must still finalize implementation rules, producers are encouraged to calculate their carbon intensity score now through the USDA FDCIC.
