Cargill RegenConnect™

Growing success from the ground up

In the News

In early August, our sustainability lead, Nathan Fries, joined This Week In Agribusiness to discuss Cargill RegenConnect. Our new regenerative ag program gives you a partner you can trust in a new and emerging market. Learn how the program works below.

Enrollment is open until September 16, 2022.

Introducing Cargill RegenConnect - Flexible. Simple. Profitable.

When it comes to carbon programs, there is a lot of noise out there. Cargill RegenConnect™ offers you the opportunity to work with a trusted partner that is committed to enabling farmer profitability to improve the soil health and earn payments for carbon sequestration. You have the flexibility to choose your own practices and enroll for one year at a time. Plus, we’ve streamlined the enrollment process to make it simple for you.

How It Works

Enroll between May 16 and September 16, 2022.
Select fields to quantify carbon outcomes and estimate the impact of the practice you choose.
Receive a minimum guaranteed payment in February 2023 and the balance after verification is complete in January 2024.

Fertile Ground Video Series

Real talk from farmers about Cargill RegenConnect™

“Fertile Ground" is a two-part video series following two U.S. farmers on their unique soil health journeys. Join us as we meet Steven (Indiana) and Tyler (Missouri) early on in the growing season and explore questions like: What practices are they adopting? Why did they decide to do this? What has their experience been so far? Why did they decide to enroll in Cargill RegenConnnect™? The second part of this series will check back with Tyler and Steven during harvest to see how things are going, what they learned, and what’s next.

We hope you find this series helpful as you explore how practices like cover crops, reduced or no-till might benefit your farm.
