While corn and soybeans were included as eligible crops in the USDA’s interim climate smart rule, canola was not. Northern Canola Growers Association Executive Director Barry Coleman says more work needs to be done. “We understand that the climate-smart program won’t apply for anything until Treasury (Department) does a final rule on the 45Z (rule) and if they even decide to incorporate it,” said Coleman. “That all depends on whether Congress repeals the 45Z and all the IRA (Inflation Reduction Act) programs, there’s still that question out there. We would certainly like to be part of the climate-smart activities (and) will be certainly working to do that.” Coleman is also disappointed with the GREET model.
