Vilsack: Agriculture is ‘in the Game’

The Biden Administration has issued the long-awaiting guidance for sustainable aviation fuel tax credits. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack gave farm broadcasters a preview of the updated GREET model Tuesday, saying climate-smart agriculture reduces greenhouse gases. “In other words, agriculture’s foot is in the door; we’re in the game.” Three climate-smart practices are cited to qualify for the tax credits: no-till, enhanced efficiency fertilizers, and cover crops. “The reason we’ve got those three is because we’ve had them for a while and we know how to measure the impact and effect of them,” said Vilsack. “That’s the work that we’re going to be doing over the next six or seven months where can we showcase an ability to verify and report the results.”
