# OSU’s Todd Hubbs Talks about how EPA is Reshaping Soybean Demand - Oklahoma Farm Report

> Agricultural economists Todd Hubbs and Scott Irwin discuss three 2025 EPA actions on the Renewable Fuel Standard: final 2026-2027 RVOs in June, a small refinery exemption ruling in July, and a reallocation framework in September. They say the changes create strong incentives for domestic soybean oil and biomass-based diesel use.
