From Soil Health to Added Income
Grown Climate Smart is more than a sustainability label — it’s a farmer-focused incentive program that pays you to adopt and maintain regenerative farming practices like cover crops, reduced or no-till, and nutrient management plans. By joining, you’ll receive direct per-acre payments while improving your soil health, building weather resilience, and playing a key role in a sustainability focused supply chain.
Whether you're already using these practices or just getting started, Grown Climate Smart helps you turn stewardship into new revenue. The program is backed by USDA funding and is designed to make conservation both financially rewarding and operationally practical.
