• Renewable fuels program offers relief as diesel prices rise (ruralradio.com) — A local farmer who works near Holdrege explains how Nebraska’s biodiesel tax credit is helping operations like his manage rising diesel costs this planting season. He describes how producers can qualify for per-gallon refunds on biodiesel blends, submit receipts online, and use the program to both support farm-grown fuels and ease fuel-price pressures on their equipment fleets.
