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. Additionally, it has proposed a regulatory change—lowering RIN values for foreign biofuels and feedstocks—that will decrease U.S. reliance on imports and increase American energy security.

In a statement, MCGA President Jim Kanten said the 2026 and 2027 RVO proposal is a positive first step for American farmers and U.S. energy independence.

Video: Grains on Tap | Episode 1: MP Branden Leslie

Our journey through the corridors of power and the fields of grain begins with a special guest, Branden Leslie, Member of Parliament for Portage-Lisgar and a proud alumnus of the Grain Growers of Canada. Branden, a native of Portage La Prairie, Manitoba, brings a wealth of knowledge from his time as a political advisor and his tenure as the manager of policy and government relations with the GGC, to his recent election to the House of Commons.

As we sit down with Branden on a late Friday afternoon, fresh from his duties at the House of Commons, we'll dive into the intersection of agriculture and politics, his journey from advocacy to elected office, and how these experiences shape his views on the future of Canadian agriculture. And, as we're doing this over a couple of well-deserved beers, we'll also touch on the lighter side of life, including Brandon's recent venture into fatherhood.
