Land O’Lakes sustainability subsidiary Truterra recently announced its 2024 sustainability programs and they were at Commodity Classic last week to talk to farmers about what they have to offer.
“The financial assistance program is one of the first we’re able to roll out under the climate smart funding,” said Amber Leusink, Senior Manager for Programs and Grants with Truterra. “What Truterra is founded on is meeting the farmer where they’re at in their sustainable journey…and so we want to work with the farmer and provide that technical assistance. But now we’re also able to offer financial assistance.”
Leusink says they are looking at roughly 80,000 acres of financial assistance opportunity. “Another funding opportunity that’s really exciting is our early adopter. So those early adopters are those farmers that have been doing the right thing, and until recently, there haven’t been opportunities for those farmers.”
