U.S. President Donald Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” could contain some beautiful news for Canada’s canola growers.

The U.S. House of Representatives’ ways and means committee has released its draft proposals for the U.S. budget reconciliation bill.

The proposals include provisions to amend the controversial 45Z clean fuel production tax credit so that canola oil-based biodiesel and renewable diesel would be eligible for the credit.

The clouds parted after a few days of rain (or at least the threat of it), so that the Hauser family could take a break from the field and enjoy a supper, expertly prepared by the BV, with the Bolt FM crew.
