A Conservation Incentive Program for Farmers
The Climate-Smart Connected Ag Project is a 5-year pilot program that incentivizes farmers to implement practices like nutrient management, the use of soil biological amendments like SOURCE® and BLUEPRINT™, and adding cover crops while providing technical assistance and data-management support to track outcomes.
Program Details
Offered by Trust in Food™, this program is open to growers on a variety of farm types, sizes and styles of operation.
Eligible growers can be rewarded for implementing over a dozen different practices, including earning up to $25/ac of cost-share for the use biological soil amendments like SOURCE and BLUEPRINT.
Enrolled producers will cover upfront implementation costs and receive reimbursement on a cost-share basis.
Data Collection Requirements:
Growers must utilize a data management system for reporting on-farm data. If they do not currently have a system, they will receive access to a platform from a project partner (AgriWebb, Trimble, and AGI) at no additional charge.
Grower data will be kept confidential and is theirs to keep. All on-farm data will be aggregated and anonymized for reporting purposes.
Eligible States:
ND, SD, MN, NE, CO, KS, MO, IA, IL, IN, AR, LA, MS, AL, GA, FL, TN, NC, SC
A Winning Solution for Every Grower
Efficient Acre
Reduce Synthetic Fertilizer Use
The Efficient Acre Solution allows growers to optimize input efficiency risk-free by replacing synthetic fertilizer with SOURCE.
Through the Climate Smart Connected Ag Project, you can earn up to $25/ac of cost-share for the use of SOURCE. As an added benefit, you can also earn up to $10/ac through Sound when using SOURCE to replace 25 units of nitrogen and phosphorus.
The best part? Sound offers a fertilizer replacement guarantee, covering up to $100 per acre in reimbursement if yield is not maintained.
Maximum Acre
Maximize Access to Nutrients
The Maximum Acre Solution is designed for growers who have dialed in fertilizer and are looking for new tools to push top-end yield.
Combining SOURCE and BLUEPRINT boosts nutrient availability and yield potential. And, it’s backed by Sound’s yield guarantee, ensuring you’ll receive a return on your investment.
Through the Climate Smart Connected Ag Project, you can earn up to $25/ac of cost-share for the use of SOURCE and BLUEPRINT, which covers the cost of the Maximum Acre solution, with upside potential for other practice adoption.
