E64: Eyes on the Future of Ethanol

For nearly two decades, the renewable fuel standard has helped make the ethanol and biofuels industries major destinations for US crops. But for corn markets in the last few years, uncertainty has run rampant, as high demand gave way to excess supplies, made worse by unreliable biofuel policies. And now, at the end of 2022, the big reset is looming.

Today, DTN Staff reporter Todd Neeley and Progressive Farmer Crops Editor Matt Wilde join us to discuss where these uncertainties stand, from small refinery waivers and pandemic-stalled fuel demand to the more recent supreme court ruling of E15.  We’ll also dig into the future of the RFS as rule changes approach, what impact electric cars might have on the industry, and what producers should be keeping an eye on in the meantime.
