Carbon A List, LLC
Overview: This project will execute an end-to-end supply chain strategy to deliver on both, while simultaneously optimizing the value of climate smart commodities so that farmers will realize a durable value-add and new market opportunity for their production. It aims to span commodity production supply chains, from producer to consumer, with a specific focus on programs in soybean feedstock for dairies, food grade soy and food grade oats.

N Rate Risk Protection Program
Overview: The N Rate Risk Protection Program provides field-specific consultation from a PFI agronomist on what reductions may be feasible, while maintaining yields. Risk protection is provided in the form of a $35 per acre payment if a yield loss occurs from reducing your typical nitrogen rate.* Farmers who are new to saving on inputs and farmers who’ve reduced nitrogen rates previously are eligible for the program. This program is free to participate in and helps you lower your risk as you reduce nitrogen expenses – saving you money and increasing your farm’s resiliency.
