    For the first time, we can choose which program will make us the most money for our sustainability efforts, while working with our local buyer. I need flexibility for my operations year-to-year depending on a variety of factors. I’ve experienced a lot of success with the Carbon by Indigo program and having the option to sell my crop into a sustainable crop program without leaving the Carbon program or double counting is incredibly exciting and promising for us.

    Farmers always want to do the right thing and they want to continue on so that operation can go generation to generation. It all starts with agronomy and it has to be right for the operation and the field and that farm. We're not looking for flash in the pan one year commitments. We really want to make sure it's sustainable long term and it's good for that operation.

    As the market for carbon credits expands, the farmer's going to be able to see that with the increased revenue because we're getting paid for the carbon we are sequestering. So as that becomes more valuable, that's more money in the farmer's pocket.

    We've tried to always be an operation that looks out into the future. We saw that consumers were starting to not only demand that their food was grown in a healthy way, but that we were challenging ourselves as growers to help combat our carbon footprint that we were leaving behind.
