The announcement, made by USDA Rural Development Acting Undersecretary Doug O’Brien on Thursday at the National Advanced Biofuels Conference, comes as a part of the larger Advanced Biofuel Payment Program, which has already distributed $211 million. The payments are made to eligible producers using feedstocks other than corn kernel starch to incentivize production amidst times of financial uncertainty.
