LanzaJet Begins Georgia Operations and Beef Prices Climb
From the Ag Information Network, I’m Bob Larson with your Agribusiness Update.
**LanzaJet says it has begun full operations at its Freedom Pines Fuels plant in Soperton, Georgia, becoming the first commercial-scale facility in the world to produce jet fuel from ethanol.
Company officials called the milestone a major step for the aviation sector as it seeks alternatives to conventional petroleum-based fuels.
The announcement follows 15 years of research, investment and development of LanzaJet’s Alcohol-to-Jet technology, which converts ethanol into sustainable aviation fuel.
**President Trump is preparing significant tariff cuts and new trade agreements aimed at easing high food prices, a top concern for voters heading into 2026.
The administration announced framework deals with Argentina, Guatemala, El Salvador and Ecuador that would reduce tariffs and other barriers on imports of beef, bananas, coffee and other staples.
Officials say the effort is designed to lower grocery bills that have remained elevated for years.
**America's beef bills are set to keep climbing, according to Omaha Steaks President and CEO Nate Rempe, who cautioned that the nation's shrinking cattle supply and record demand could stretch family budgets for years.
Rempe says by the third quarter of '26, families are going see $10 a pound ground beef.
Rempe's comments come the same day the White House announced several trade deals with tariff reductions on certain goods, like beef from Argentina.
