Tim Urban of Bracewell Technologies has advocated for clients on business tax issues, extension of temporary tax provisions, and federal tax policies within the energy sector. He says agriculture has potential game changers in the evolving energy policies, in fact, in many ways ag is in the middle of this evolution.
“I don’t think there’s ever been a time in my memory where the ag sector can pick up the phone and it gets answered at the highest level,” Urban says.
Urban will present a general session with an outlook and insights on biofuels, sustainable aviation fuels, and renewable diesel as it relates to the ag industry at the 2024 ARA Conference and Expo. And he shares more on The Scoop podcast:
“Whether it’s electricity or whether it’s fuel for your car, miraculously, ag and ag products play a huge starring role in all of it,” he says.
While liquid fuels are a “no-brainer,” Bracewell sees corn, soybeans, and other ag stocks being rich with opportunities.
As for the future of renewable energy policy, Bracewell says the November election will set the stage for what policies are pursued, but overall, he thinks the future is bright for ag’s role in renewables.
“The ag community is uniquely well positioned,” he says.
