AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoDiesel Relief for Nebraska Farmers: President Trump signed an executive order easing limits on tax-free “red-dyed” diesel, letting drivers use the fuel on public roads through the end of 2026, with the White House saying federal excise taxes will be deferred and Treasury will look at canceling charges—aimed at cutting record diesel costs that are hitting trucking, agriculture, and grocery prices. Midterm Politics at the Pump: The order was rolled out during Trump’s Grand Island rally backing Sen. Pete Ricketts and Gov. Jim Pillen, as Republicans try to blunt voter anger over fuel prices tied to the Iran conflict. Policy Reality Check: Analysts warn the move may not help all drivers equally because states still control enforcement and supply won’t change much. Nebraska Public Works Grant: NDOT opened applications for the Section 5310 transit program for seniors and people with disabilities, with vehicle purchases funded and a Nov. 30 deadline. UNL-UNMC Collaboration: UNL and UNMC held an inaugural summit to streamline cross-campus education, research, and data sharing. Food Safety: Frozen berry recalls expanded over potential E. coli contamination, including select Walmart and Trader Joe’s products.
