You Could Be Rewarded for Storing Carbon

Participating in the Truterra™ carbon program is a way to potentially receive financial incentives for storing carbon in the soil and improving soil health.
Two Options to Participate
Farmers who have implemented conservation management practices known to increase carbon levels in the soil are eligible to potentially earn money. Eligible conservation management practices include no-till, strip-till, reduced tillage and continuous soil cover.
