Any more delays around the 45Z tax credit could cause market confusion, lawmakers warn

While the ag community works to factor in the revised net farm income numbers, there is still a lot of concern around the 45Z tax credit, but there is also a lot of confusion, too.

Reuters reports the Biden Administration will not finalize the anticipated guidelines before leaving office, but other outlets, like Bloomberg, have conflicting information. Analysts with DTN say they spoke to officials at the Treasury Department and they say there will be guidance before the new Administration takes over.

Senator Chuck Grassley weighed in on the matter pn X, saying, “Delaying the 45Z guidance will be disruptive to the biofuels industry. The Biden administration’s climate agenda has prioritized pet projects for coastal elites and left middle America behind at every turn. That ends when Republicans take power next year.”
