Transcribe →Regenerative Agriculture and the 45Z Clean Fuel Production Credit with Mitchell Hora
Mar 3000:49:56Tap to summarizeThis episode of the K-State Regen Ag podcast is a crossover episode with Dr. Jennifer Ifft's Smoke and Mirrors Ag Policy podcast. We speak with Mitchell Hora, a farmer from Washington County, Iowa, and the CEO of Continuum Ag, about the 45Z Clean Fuel Production Tax Credit and its potential to incentivize the adoption of regenerative ag practices and to reward those already implementing regen practices on their operations.
