Once the producer has completed one soil test, they will be eligible for the two practice incentives. This program will be set up as a supplementation voucher system with oversight by TAMUK. Practice incentive 1 is genomic testing of beef animals. Practice incentive 2 is an additional incentive that will either cover half or the full cost of phenotypic GHG testing ($10 per animal) based on the number of producer qualifications met.
