Ardent Mills Idaho Snake River Valley Wheat Project
Ardent Mills and Agrible, are partnering together on an Southern Idaho project that will enable Ardent Mills to better engage farmers and more easily enroll farmers in their program. Ardent Mills is committed to engaging farmers in continuous improvement and data collection projects.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. This project will initially engage producers in Idaho to establish a baseline and document improvements across the wheat rotation
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
Agrible supported farmers to evaluate 12,226 acres of wheat produced in the Snake River Valley.
Ardent Mills, Nutrien Ag Solutions, and growers in this region have partnered to achieve progress. By leveraging sound agronomy from Nutrien Ag Solutions’ crop consultants—tailored to each grower—and utilizing the Fieldprint® Calculator integrated into Agrible, we provide valuable data back to growers and partners in the form of personalized reports, enabling us to measure progress effectively. In addition, the project creates opportunities for growers to access additional revenue streams. This all helps to drive sustainability throughout the supply chain. Each partner shares their story through various channels to promote transparency and reinforce the message that, no matter how big or small the effort, we are making meaningful progress.
