KAYLA BERGMAN, SUSTAINABILITY LEAD

The Truterra program helps growers financially by providing assistance for conservation practices, including cover crops, reduced tillage, and no-till farming. Growers implementing these practices, no matter when they were initially adopted, are eligible for Truterra programs.

Truterra offers several key benefits to growers, including inclusivity and flexibility. The program recently expanded eligibility to include growers that have been using conservation practices for many years. Additionally, the Truterra carbon program has a one-year contract term, providing growers flexibility when needed.

Innovative Ag Services (IAS) can help growers navigate the Truterra programs, including the carbon program. The IAS sustainability team helps ensure growers are informed throughout enrollment and choose the program that best fits their needs. Growers who have enrolled in the Truterra program have reported financial benefits and shared that they feel secure by being part of this program. IAS helps growers throughout the process to ensure their operations are protected.

The Truterra program is a valuable resource for growers who want to implement sustainable and conservation practices on their farms. Innovative Ag Services can help growers navigate the Truterra program and ensure they receive the most benefits.

“In my role as sustainability lead, taking care of our customers wherever they are on their sustainability and conservation journey is my number one priority. We know that our customers want to be good stewards of the land, and we’re here to support them on conservation tillage, cover crops, nitrogen stabilizers, structural water quality practices, and any other soil conservation efforts.”

Members can learn about the Truterra programs by talking to their IAS sales agronomist or by filling out a pre-enrollment survey at Truterra.
