Proposed RVOs for 2026, 2027 Could Bolster Family Farmers

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency released its Renewable Volume Obligation (RVO) proposal for 2026 and 2027 as part of the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program. The agency has proposed robust renewable fuel targets for 2026 and 2027, with an implied 15-billion-gallon annual target for conventional renewable fuels like ethanol.
