Corn farmers say the sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) market provides incredible opportunities for agriculture, but there are challenges ahead.
Illinois farmer Chris Gould says SAF is the next big market for corn growers. “The automotive ethanol market is pretty well developed,” he says. “There isn’t going to be a ton of growth from here. If corn is going to be consumed in a new way, this is the next best way.”

But, Michigan farmer John Delmotte of Dundee tells Brownfield the industry faces regulatory barriers that need to be addressed to allow SAF to really take off.
