Land O’ Lakes Truterra LLC paid out $4 million to farmers for 200,000 tons of carbon stored during the first year of its carbon program. Field Team Leader Mariah Murphy says signup for the 2022 program is open. “Farmers can go to the Truterra website and they’ll find a quick survey. If you qualify, you’ll know within 48-hours what the next steps may be or you can reach out to a participating retailer.” Participating farmers are eligible for a one-time payment of $2 per acre. “These farmers were probably already making that transition. This is more of an incentive for them to continue on that path or explore the path of a carbon program. This is a way for them to get baseline data in the system and take a look at soil samples we would capture.” Hear the story.
