Truterra
Truterra helps farmers unlock, sustain, and build upon the potential of their soil. Its sustainability programs are built to meet farmers where they are – whether they are taking a first look at changing management practices to address a specific challenge, are concerned about the overall health of soil, or are hoping to reduce some of the costs of sustainable practices. The 2025 Truterra Registered Carbon Program with Indigo offers financial incentives for carbon benefits generated by eligible farmers implementing new regenerative practices for the first time.
