Georgia Farm Dog Contest and Renewable Fuels Standard
From the Ag Information Network, I’m Bob Larson with your Agribusiness Update.
**From herding to guarding livestock and property, farm dogs play a special role on the farm, while providing companionship and joy to their families.
That’s why Georgia Farm Bureau is looking to recognize a furry farm hero through its 2026 Georgia Farm Dog Contest.
Entries will be accepted until May 1 or until 200 entries are received.
The contest is open to GFB members ages 18 and over.

**The EPA released the long-awaited final Renewable Fuels Standard volume obligations for 2026 and 27, and U.S. ag groups responded positively.
Renewable Fuels Association’s Geoff Cooper says the final rule locks in the highest-ever renewable fuel volume obligations and provides clarity for farmers, ethanol producers, oil refiners, and fuel distributors.
National Farmers Union president, Rob Larew says these increased targets for biodiesel and renewable diesel send a strong signal to the marketplace.
**Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins announced new actions aimed at boosting the supply of American born, raised, and harvested beef by signing of a Memorandum of Understanding that strengthens coordination, cuts red tape, and delivers tangible support for America’s farmers and ranchers.
The agreement ensures more efficient, transparent and responsive grazing management on federal lands.
Rollins says this sends a clear message: the Trump Administration is putting America’s farmers and ranchers first.
