Nebraska Governor Thanks President for Diesel Order to Help Harvest
Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen on October 6 in Grand Island thanked the President for signing an executive order that temporarily allows red-dyed diesel for highway use and defers the applicable federal excise tax to ease high diesel prices during fall harvest. Pillen said the federal action builds on earlier state orders raising load capacity for seasonal farm hauling and authorizing dyed diesel use.
