Truterra has a new grant program for farmers considering regenerative agriculture. Senior Manager of Programs and Grants Amber Leusink says this program helps farmers when trying a new farming practice. “Trying no-till for the first time or strip-till, or planting a cover crop can be scary,” said Leusink. “While we can’t take completely take away all of the risk, we can help with some of the financial risk.” Truterra also has an incentive program for long-term adopters. “We have these farmers that have been doing the right thing over the long-term and typically they’ve been standing out here with their hand up saying what about me? Truterra, as a commercial program, we have opportunities for these long-term adopters.” Enrollment for this new Truterra program for farmers experienced in regenerative agriculture will begin on August 1.
