45Z and your farm: What Iowa farmers need to know before the 2027 crop year

September 3, 2026 | Bethany Baratta

Are you interested in possibly earning more for the crops you grow on your farm? Have you wondered how the Iowa Soybean Association is speaking on your behalf as it relates to the prices received at the farm gate?

Join ISA on Sept. 15 for a one-hour webinar as Adam Kiel, executive vice president of AgOutcomes Inc. (manager of the Soil and Water Outcomes Fund), and Matt Herman, ISA chief officer of demand and advocacy, seek to demystify what the 45Z Clean Fuel Production Credit means for you on your farm.

In this one-hour webinar, they’ll highlight key provisions included in the policy, including:

• How 45Z could create more value for your soybeans and corn
• How conservation practices and implementation intersect with the credits offered through this policy
• Documentation and verification considerations
• Actions Iowa Soybean Association is pursuing to enhance and improve 45Z for farmers

“With the 2027 crop year quickly approaching, it's important for farmers to plan ahead for potential 45Z programs,” Kiel says. “Decisions made on farms this fall will impact eligibility and potential payments from biofuel producers.”
