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.
