Truterra is announcing a new carbon program created specifically for dairy producers is among the options to help farmers adopt climate-smart practices.
The 2024 Truterra® dairy soils carbon programs reward pre-qualified dairy producers who adopt sustainable farming practices on the crops they use for dairy feed – including silage and alfalfa. Sustainable practices include the use of cover crops, strip-till or no-till to improve soil health and increase soil carbon levels.
The programs are supported by leading dairy companies including Land O’Lakes, Bel Brands and Dairy Farmers of America (DFA). Eligibility is open to both new and long-term practice adopters, and participants are eligible via invitation through sponsoring companies.
“Truterra is focused on pairing farmers seeking to adopt climate-smart practices with companies looking to fulfill their environmental commitments,” said Jamie Leifker, president of Truterra. “We are excited to expand into the dairy industry with these unique market-backed programs.”
