Akiptan offers sustainable loans designed to help producers to strengthen their balance sheet and cash flow while implementing regenerative agriculture practices. In addition to direct financing, producers also receive technical assistance. The Intertribal Agriculture Council uses grant funds to provide nationwide education, outreach, marketing, and technical assistance to support the model, expanding financing options and producer support through a collaborative approach.
The Crop Plan is a performance product that recommends practices, and in some cases products, including cover crops, low- or no-till, efficient nutrient management, and/or enhanced efficiency fertilizers that help achieve sustainable production objectives. The Crop Plan assures growers that their acres will meet or beat past yield performance. If yields fall below the established performance expectations, the grower can claim a warranty payment, offered by Growers Edge, to cover a portion of performance shortfall.
In addition to the yield warranty offered by Growers Edge, Nutrien Ag Solutions will provide funds for a performance-based incentive for farmers using nitrogen-reduction practices.
Practical Farmers of Iowa (PFI) offers incentives for reducing nitrogen application and for planting cover crops.
Through the N Rate Risk Protection Program (NRRPP), growers agree to reduce their nitrogen rates. If the benchmark yield is not achieved with reduced nitrogen application, a per-acre reimbursement payment may be claimed to cover a portion of the performance reduction. Growers Edge partners with PFI on the NRRPP program to support insurance claims and determine if a farmer is eligible to receive a payment based on reduced crop performance.
PFI's Cover Crop Cost-Share program offers a marketing incentive, paid by PepsiCo, for implementing cover crops.
Illinois Corn’s Precision Conservation Management (PCM) program offers a sustainable practice incentive to farmers for cover crops, reduced-till, no-till, strip-till, reduction in nitrogen use, and various practice enhancement options. Matching funds from PepsiCo, offering $5-$25 per acre, will be used to incentivize farmers to adopt conservation practices listed below.
