Nutrien Northern High Plains

Insight
Active Project

At Nutrien, sustainable agriculture programs called FARMSMART, are designed to boost farm productivity, profitability and environmental stewardship. FARMSMART® programs seek to increase the adoption of farm management offerings, support farmers in recording field level data, and report crop and environmental outcomes. Our programs can demonstrate the impact of farmers’ current best agricultural management practices (such as conservation tillage) and can also identify opportunities for improvement, track improvements from baseline performance and connect farmers to value chain partners to bring additional value to their operations.

Engagement Targets

Growers

Chart shows new, retained and total number of growers enrolled in each year of the project. Per the project registration, this project has a target of 25 unique growers.

Acres

Chart shows entered and enrolled acres in each year of the project. Per the project registration, this project has a target of 60000 enrolled acres.

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

Engage with growers to adopt additional regenerative ag practices - working with growers to enter their data into Agrible and providing them with a yearly report with the Field to Market metrics from the Fieldprint Calculator. This will provide growers with the information on their farm compared to the grower standard practice in their area. We will work with the in finding opportunities for improvement and increase resiliency.
