Abstract
Nebraska farmers have received some temporary fuel-tax relief during the 2026 harvest season. On September 24, 2026, Governor Jim Pillen issued Executive Order 26-21, providing relief for certain agricultural transportation activities in Nebraska. The program runs for 90 days, through December 23, 2026.
On October 5, President Trump issued a federal executive order addressing diesel fuel taxes and penalties associated with dyed diesel used on highways. The federal action covers the period from October 5 through December 31, 2026.
