45Z Explained: Will Farmers Actually See the Money?
Everyone is talking about 45Z, but what does it actually mean for the American farmer?
Brent Hoops, board member of Renewable Fuels Nebraska, joins Rush Hour Ag to break down the 45Z Clean Fuel Production Credit, its potential impact on ethanol, renewable fuels, and the opportunities it could create for corn growers across the Midwest.
This week, Elliott Henderson is joined by special guest host Lance Lillibridge, a longtime Iowa farmer, bringing another farmer's perspective to the conversation.
From the future of biofuels to the policies shaping demand for American-grown crops, we're asking the questions farmers want answered. Who benefits, what challenges remain, and could 45Z create new opportunities for agriculture?
Tune in to Rush Hour Ag for a conversation that connects policy decisions in Washington to what happens on the farm.

What's Truly at Stake This November 3rd?
Sometimes the most important conversations happen around the kitchen table.
Congresswoman and U.S. Senate candidate Ashley Hinson sits down with Rush Hour Ag hosts Louie Zumbach and Elliott Henderson for a simple, kitchen-table-style conversation about what's truly at stake this November 3rd.
As farmers themselves, Louie and Elliott know firsthand how decisions made in Washington impact everyday life on the farm. They're bringing that perspective to the table, asking questions about the future of Iowa agriculture, rural communities, and the policies that affect producers.
No complicated political jargon. Just farmers having real conversations about the issues that matter.

Who Gets the Farm? The Succession Conversation Families Can't Avoid 🚜
With the average age of American farmers continuing to rise, one of agriculture's biggest questions is becoming more urgent: What happens to the farm when it's time for the next generation to take over? Kristine Tidgren from Iowa State University joins Louie and Elliott at the Farm Progress Show to discuss farm succession planning, passing down land, and why these conversations need to happen long before decisions have to be made.
This isn't just a conversation for today's farmers. It's about the future of family farms and the next generation of agriculture.
