ADM Midwest Breadbasket Wheat Project
ADM Milling and Farmers Business Network are partnering together on a Midwest Breadbasket Soft Red Winter Wheat project that will enable buyers to credibly meet sustainability goals and bring value to wheat producers. This program will create a platform that enables participating growers and value chain members to gain and share valuable insights about the impacts and benefits of their management decisions across several key resource issues and the bottom line. Through this project, ADM will incentivize and measure the impact of regenerative agriculture practices with wheat growers in Indiana, Missouri, and North Carolina.
Engagement Targets
Notes: (1) Minor fluctuations in the number of retained growers is expected from year to year. These fluctuations may be due to year-over-year crop rotation effects or other factors beyond the control of the project. Enrolled acres represent the total number of acres on an individual farm in a specific year. The ability to report enrolled acres is based on the Fieldprint Project Standard requirement that individual growers enrolled in projects enter at least 10% of the acres managed for a specific crop. (2) Entered acres represent the actual number of enrolled acres for which data is entered in the Fieldprint Platform for analysis.
Objectives
ADM hit their acreage and grower enrollment goal targeted for the Midwest Breadbasket area.
Our goal is to incentivize the adoption of locally-relevant, regenerative practices, including no-till, conservation tillage, cover crops, and nutrient management.
