"Farmers are fast realizing that Truterra's farmer-friendly approach aims to strengthen the connection between sustainability and profitability," said Tom Ryan, President of Truterra. "By working with and through farmer's trusted advisor, the carbon program has continued to achieve great success in its second year, and we look forward to continuing to meet farmers where they are in their sustainability journey in order to help them make the best agronomic, economic and environmental decisions for their farms."
Other notable results from Truterra's 2022 carbon program include:
"I had read about carbon programs without giving it much thought until GreenPoint Ag mentioned they work with Truterra and it's a real thing that I could enroll in and could not only help with my bottom line, but also the sustainability of my farm," said Robert Walters, a farmer in Alabama.
"At the end of the day, it's Truterra's farmer focus that makes us preferential to their carbon program and sustainability solutions, and we are dedicated to helping farmers in their sustainability journey in lock step with the Truterra team," said Daniel Mullenix, Director of Ag Technologies at GreenPoint Ag.
Beyond Truterra's leadership and differentiation in carbon, Truterra also offers a range of solutions to meet farmers wherever they are in their sustainability journey, from a soil health assessment, which provides a comprehensive report with actionable insights for farmers to understand the biological, chemical and physical health of their fields, and then create a roadmap for improving their soil health, to our farmer-centric, retail-driven carbon program. Sustainability is not a one-sized-fits-all approach and Truterra is committed to supporting farmers with customized tools, insights and pathways to plan, make and maintain regenerative practices on their operations for the long-term.
