USDA is hosting a webinar on Tuesday August 18, 2026 from 2:30-4pm ET on the new Regenerative Biofuel Feedstock Rule that will help farmers voluntarily capture new value from regenerative agricultural practices through biofuel markets. The Regenerative Biofuel Feedstock Rule establishes a framework to connect regenerative agriculture practices to new markets within the biofuel supply chain for corn, soybeans, sorghum, and spring canola.
Attend the webinar to learn how the rule will help create new markets for farmers by establishing guidelines for quantifying, reporting, and verifying the carbon intensity benefits of regenerative biofuel feedstock commodity crops grown in the United States. The webinar will also cover a new calculator that measures soil health through the utilization of regenerative practices like no-till, cover crops, and fertilizer management.
The webinar will feature Elizabeth Marshall, Economist in USDA’s Office of the Chief Economist; Maya Patel, Natural Resources Specialist at USDA OEEP; Kathryn Zook, USDA’s Acting Director of the Office of Energy and Environmental Policy (OEEP); and Kelsey Barnes, USDA’s Senior Advisor to the Secretary for Rural Development, Biofuels, and Research, Education, and Economics.
