What this bill would do
The ``Farmer First Fuel Incentives Act'' seeks to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. It prohibits the use of foreign feedstocks for the clean fuel production credit, requiring that fuel be derived from a feedstock produced or grown in the United States. The bill also directs the adjustment of lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions to exclude emissions from indirect land use changes. Additionally, it extends the clean fuel production credit through December 31, 2034. Finally, it adjusts the rounding of the clean fuel production credit emissions factor.
