The USDA is urging states to review wolf policies by December 3rd, following a presidential executive order, to determine if gray and Mexican wolves still qualify as endangered, which could allow ranchers more protection for cattle. Additionally, a survey of economists provides advice for corn and soybean growers on 2027 fertilizer purchases, with 44% recommending buying some now and floating the rest.",

  "transcript": "Hey, I'm Haley Bickelhaupt with your AgDay Minute today. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin proposed a revision to the renewable volume obligations, or blending requirements, on Tuesday morning. Two plans are being considered to reallocate 770 million RINs. Those RINs were part of the 2025 small refinery exemptions that were announced at the end of August. Now, the first option would split reallocations between 2026 and 2027. And the second would reallocate everything to 2027. EPA is taking public comments until December 4th. And overall, ethanol stakeholders are generally pleased with the proposed reallocations of the SREs. Well, the USDA is urging states to review wolf policies following a September executive order by President Donald Trump. The Helping Ranchers Combat Predation order requires officials to review if gray and Mexican wolves still qualify as endangered. Delisting them will allow ranchers to take more measures to protect cattle. The 90-day deadline finishes on December 3rd. Well, corn and soybean growers are weighing tough fertilizer decisions for the 2027 crop year. The September Ag Economist Monthly Monitor shows 44% of economists advise pricing a portion of fertilizer now and then floating the rest. 28% say lock in everything this fall, while only 11% recommend holding off until spring.
