Abstract

Changing energy policy and market conditions are affecting agriculture as both a consumer and producer of energy. This study analyzes how the Renewable Fuel Standard, which mandates a biofuel component in U.S. transportation fuels, the shale energy revolution, and the Clean Power Plan could affect the agricultural sector.
