E15 Access Standard Act Signed Into Law by Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen

Published On

LINCOLN, Neb. — Lawmakers have passed a bill to increase consumer access to E15 in Nebraska. LB562, introduced by State Sen. Myron Dorn, includes requirements for motor fuel retailers in Nebraska to sell E15 from at least 50% of their dispensers starting in 2024 if they build a new motor fuel site or replace more than 80% of the motor fuel storage and dispensing infrastructure at an existing site. Gov. Jim Pillen signed the bill, known as the E15 Access Standard Act, into law.

“Nine out of 10 fuel retailers in Nebraska will be able to offer E15 without expensive upgrades to their fuel infrastructure and dispensing system,” said Reid Wagner, Nebraska Ethanol Board (NEB) executive director. “The framework created through LB562 offers a pathway to increase access to higher blends while minimizing costs to fuel retailers and maximizing savings for consumers.”

If the statewide ethanol blend rate (the average percentage of ethanol in each gallon of fuel) is below 14% in 2027, the bill requires fuel retailers to offer E15 from at least one dispenser at each retail location. The bill also provides for an increased income tax credit for fuel retailers offering higher blends of ethanol: $0.08 per gallon of E15 sold in 2024, $0.09 per gallon in 2025, $0.08 per gallon in 2026, $0.07 per gallon in 2027, and $0.05 per gallon in 2028.

“This is a great day for Nebraska’s drivers,” NEB Chairman Jan tenBensel said. “Having the option to choose lower‑cost, lower-carbon E15 at fuel stations all around the state is a big win for consumers, farmers, and value-added agriculture.”

E15, a blend of 15% ethanol and gasoline, is approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for vehicles model year 2001 and newer. Visit fueledbynebraska.com to learn about which blend of ethanol to use and to find retailers near you.

The Nebraska Ethanol Board works to ensure strong public policy and consumer support for biofuels. Since 1971, the independent state agency has designed and managed programs to expand production, market access, worker safety and technology innovation, including recruitment of producers interested in developing conventional ethanol, as well as bio-products from the ethanol platform.

OSU Extension Farm Stress Certification Program

Published On

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Two years ago, Bridget Britton, behavioral health field specialist at the Tuscarawas County Extension office for The Ohio State University, received an email from Cathann Kress, dean of the College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. Kress was reaching out on behalf of a local farmer who was seeking mental health counseling.

“This farmer was looking for therapy, but farmers want to go to someone who is also a farmer, or who at least knows farming,” Britton said. “I called area agencies and would ask if they had counselors that farm on their staff. Everyone said no. I didn’t know what to do.”

This challenge led to the creation of the Farm Stress Certification program. The program educates mental health care providers about farming topics, ranging from basics, like how large an acre is, what crops are grown in Ohio and how weather can impact farming, to more complex issues like why telling a farmer to quit a stressful job will just turn them away.

“They don’t want to quit their jobs,” Britton said. “They want to be able to manage their stress. They want counseling so they don’t have to quit their jobs.”

The certification, which is part of a collaboration with the College of Social Work, counts as continuing education credits for the practitioners. In addition to farming, the three-module course covers stressors unique to rural communities.

“There is a stigma,” Britton said. “Everyone knows your name. Everyone knows where you are going if you go to therapy. So, we have expanded the program to cover not just agricultural issues but rural ones, too.”

The farming community struggles with mental health issues. According to the Occupational Health and Safety Administration, agriculture is one of the most dangerous fields for work. Additionally, white men have some of the highest suicide rates in the United States. Ensuring that farmers have the support they need is key, Britton said.

“Many of these farms are multigenerational. They’re not going to be ones to give up the farm,” she said.
“We talk about suicide warning signs, which can look different in the agricultural community.”

More than 1,000 providers have been trained since the program’s launch in 2022. The popularity of the initial certification has led Britton and her team to create a second, which focuses on topics like urban agriculture, new and beginning farmers, and stressors faced by farmers in the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities. All the topics come from provider requests, Britton said.

“I think providers didn’t realize this was an underserved population,” she said. “They didn’t realize the lack of understanding they had for the rural and agricultural communities. They didn’t realize there’s almost a language barrier.”

Even providers in urban areas like Columbus and Toledo have taken part in the certification.

“They do telehealth appointments,” Britton said. “They say, ‘We want people to know we offer telehealth. We can serve you. We can be relevant.’”

Britton’s office keeps a running list of providers who are licensed by the state of Ohio and have completed the training and want to be added to the database. Each extension office has a copy of the list.

“People trust their extension office,” Britton said. “Our farmers may go into the office for one thing but now they have access to that list.”

When one farmer goes to counseling, that means another may follow, she said.

“They’re telling their friends, ‘It’s okay to go. Even though we live in a small town, I’m going. It’s okay for you to go.’”

Rising Cost of Grain Storage Will Force Elevators to Lower Bids, Widen Basis

Published On

DENVER — The cost of storing grain, commonly referred to as the cost of carry, has soared to record highs due to rising interest rates, high commodity prices and increasing costs for labor, insurance, transportation and energy. That is putting a significant squeeze on grain elevators, which may be forced to lower their local bids on grain to manage through the unfavorable economics of holding commodities.

According to a new report from CoBank’s Knowledge Exchange, the interest-related cost of carry in the 2023-2024 crop year will increase 21% for corn, 42% for soybeans and 50% for all-wheat, year-over-year. Each of those costs is estimated to be the highest on record. The projections are based on the forecasted average annual interest rate for grain merchandisers of 7.75% for the 2023-2024 crop year, and USDA’s marketing year average price forecasts of $4.80/bu. for corn, $12.10/bu. for soybeans and $8.00/bu. for all-wheat.

Financing the ownership of corn, wheat and soybean inventories is a major cost of carry for grain elevators. Interest expense as a percentage of the total cost of carry can vary widely among grain merchandisers and between crop years. But it can typically comprise one-quarter to one-third or more of a grain elevator’s total cost of storing grain and oilseeds.

“For grain elevators, the sharp rise in interest rates couldn’t have come at a worse time as they borrow higher-priced funds on commodities that have also remained at historically high prices,” said Tanner Ehmke, lead grains and oilseeds economist for CoBank. “And while grain elevators are motivated to move inventory as fast as possible to lower carrying costs, processors and end users will want to delay ownership of commodities to reduce their own inventory costs.”

The persistent inverse in futures markets, where the price of later-dated contracts are lower than spot prices, further complicates matters for grain elevators. In normal market conditions when supplies are abundant, forward futures contracts are priced higher than the nearby spot prices to account for storage costs and a small risk premium. When futures prices are lower than spot prices, farmers are motivated to sell commodities rather than hold them for future sale.

Cooperative elevators are in business to buy and market their members’ grain. That means they will be obligated to carry inventory despite the economic disincentive of doing so. Holding commodities in high-interest rate environments also ties up a company’s working capital, which can put a strain on other business operations. This is especially problematic in volatile markets when liquidity is needed for managing margin calls on futures hedges.

“It’s a challenging situation for cooperative grain elevators as well as farmers, because it comes at a time when farmers are also facing higher costs,” said Ehmke. “Co-op managers will need to closely scrutinize their operating costs and impose greater discipline on cost wherever possible. And if they need to lower their bids and widen basis to cover storage costs, they should communicate early and consistently with farmer members who will be impacted.”

The positive news on carrying costs is that the Federal Reserve is expected to hold interest rates at their current levels for the foreseeable future. And USDA is forecasting corn, soybean and all-wheat prices to drop for the 2023-2024 crop year from the year prior, which will take some pressure off carrying costs.

Watch a video synopsis and read the report, Rising Cost of Carry Will Force Cooperative Grain Elevators to Lower Bids, Widen Basis.

Biofiltro Teams With UC-Davis to Advance Climate-Smart Agriculture Through $1.6M USDA Grant

Published On

DAVIS, Calif. — Biofiltro (biofiltro.com) will collaborate with the University of California-Davis (UC-Davis) and the University of Vigo in Galicia, Spain, to evaluate how vermicompost, created by earthworms, can help farmers produce food more efficiently and sustainably. The work will be funded by a $1.6 million Conservation Innovation Grant from USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, awarded to UC-Davis. The USDA investment funds were announced in April 2023 as innovative approaches to climate-smart agriculture.

The project will evaluate how BioFiltro’s patented Biodynamic Aerobic (BIDA) system produced vermicompost will impact soil health and greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) when applied to farm fields. The team will complete economic and life cycle analyses from data collected on a dozen farms—half in California and half in Washington—across five years.

“We are thrilled that USDA recognized that vermifiltration can be a climate solution for the agriculture industry,” commended Matias Sjogren, CEO of BioFiltro, a California-based company that is now focusing on the technology as a viable solution to treat liquid manure on livestock farms.

“The grant will enable us to continue to develop the story of how vermifiltration can help livestock farmers, wineries, food industries, and sanitary plants reduce carbon footprint and promote circular agriculture, turning what has long been viewed as a problem—waste—into a soil amendment that is even more valuable and nutrient dense than traditional compost.”

In the BioFiltro system, liquid waste percolates down through layered beds of wood shavings, earthworms, and crushed rock, then collects in a drainage basin before being piped as clean water. The action of microbes and earthworms degrades the organic matter while also converting part of the nitrogen into a harmless gas.

On dairy farms, the BIDA system is shown to remove up to 90% of the nitrogen, phosphorus, and solids in liquid manure. The cleaner water can be reused on the dairy farm and to irrigate fields. The treated solids are transformed into vermicompost. The system helps dairy farmers optimize freshwater consumption and nutrient management and minimize farm odor. And because wastewater is not stored in an anaerobic environment, BIDA is shown to avoid the emission of GHG both during and after treatment, enabling farmers to earn money from the sale of carbon credits.

“Part of the beauty of this system is that it can be adopted for little cost by dairy farmers when they take advantage of state or federal grants for alternative manure management programs,” said Sjogren. “It is a low-tech, low-input, sustainable system that operates with a concept that has been done by Mother Nature from the beginning of time.”

About BioFiltro

BioFiltro is an international wastewater treatment company based in Davis, Calif., with a patented, worm-powered filtration system that naturally removes up to 90% of contaminants in four hours. A carbon-neutral company, BioFiltro offers climate-smart, nature-based environmental solutions to industries and communities of all sizes.

AgriCapture Receives First Carbon Credits in Texas History for Grasslands Conservation

Published On

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — AgriCapture is issued the first-ever avoided grasslands conversion carbon credits in Texas through a partnership with the property’s landowner and the Texas Agricultural Land Trust to protect soil carbon and ensure that the property’s native grasslands will not be converted.

The credits were issued by the Climate Action Reserve (CAR), a globally trusted carbon market offset registry, to a Bailey County ranch. Located in the High Plains of the Texas Panhandle, the area is recognized by the U.S. Department of Agriculture as a New Dust Bowl Zone, where preserving native grassland habitats and preventing land use conversion is especially critical.

“We are proud to deliver the first avoided grasslands conversion carbon credits in the history of the state of Texas and thrilled that AgriCapture’s programs will unlock significant value for Texas landowners,” says AgriCapture Board Member and Texas landowner, Kam Kronenberg.

Based in Nashville, AgriCapture was created by a group of agriculture specialists, passionate environmentalists, and economists to combat climate change through sustainable agriculture. AgriCapture verifies Climate-Friendly agricultural practices on farms, ranches, and grasslands to track environmental benefits and boost profitability for agricultural partners across the country.

AgriCapture’s Avoided Grasslands Conversion Project is dedicated to protecting native grasslands and ranches from conversion to cropland, allowing the land to naturally sequester carbon, and prevent agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. To facilitate the generation of carbon credits, AgriCapture methodically collects data on soil types, vegetative cover, land use history, and ranch operations to submit for registry verification and credit issuance under CAR’s Grasslands Protocol. The AgriCapture team quantifies avoided GHG emissions and monitors ranch operations to protect underground carbon storage.

The Texas Agricultural Land Trust (TALT) partnered with AgriCapture on the Bailey County project and holds the conservation easement that will protect the land from being converted or developed. The easement contains provisions that make the property eligible to receive carbon credits for sequestering and storing soil carbon, as well as eliminating emissions that would be associated with crop production.

“We believe this bellwether project could result in future carbon credit revenue streams for agricultural landowners in Texas and beyond,” said TALT CEO Chad Ellis. “We are excited about what these new carbon markets will mean for working lands families, and we look forward to sharing our learning with landowners as this project progresses.”

Despite constant threat of development and conversion to cropland, native grasslands provide critically important wildlife habitat, filter water flowing into aquifers, rivers, and lakes, and naturally sequester over a third of land-based carbon.

Grasslands conservation carbon credits incentivize landowners to protect underground carbon storage within their grasslands. Corporate supporters of the Avoided Grasslands Conversion Project will offset company GHG emissions while preserving disappearing native grasslands.

About AgriCapture

AgriCapture is a leading agricultural technology company that enables farmers and landowners to identify and implement climate-friendly practices and capture value for their positive climate impact.
