ForGround Bayer

There’s a new opportunity for growers in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and Nebraska! This season, growers can apply for a one-time bonus opportunity as part of the Bayer Carbon Program. Together with a major consumer packaged goods company, we are offering a Cover Crop Bonus for growers who plant cover crops on eligible corn acres in 2025. To qualify, corn must be harvested in 2025. Applications to receive the Cover Crop Bonus will be accepted until state acreage caps are met, so growers are encouraged to apply early.
