ADM re:generations pays farmers per-acre incentives for regenerative practices — cover crops, nutrient management, and reduced tillage — inside ADM's own grain supply chain. Because ADM is the buyer, the program works through the elevators and ADM representatives farmers already deliver to: incentives are regional, and enrollment runs on the Gradable platform or through a local ADM rep.
The program covers both emissions reductions and carbon removals, on corn, soybeans, wheat, canola, and peanuts. Enrollment for the 2026-27 program year is open as of August 2026.
ADM describes the appeal as "an easy process to participate through local people you know" — no separate carbon-market relationship required, with incentives varying by region and commodity.
Eligibility
-
Grow an eligible commodity: corn, soybeans, wheat, canola, or peanuts.
-
Adopt or continue eligible practices: cover crops, nutrient management (including nitrification inhibitors and manure nitrogen), no-till, or reduced tillage.
-
Incentive options vary by region — ADM directs farmers to check what is available in their area through their local ADM representative or the enrollment platform.
Terms
Payment is per acre for enrolled practices, with incentive levels varying by region and commodity; ADM does not publish standard rates. The program pays for both greenhouse gas reductions and removals (sequestration and abatement), and outcomes stay within ADM's supply chain as insets rather than being sold as offsets.
Application Instructions
Enroll at app.gradable.com/admregenerations or through a local ADM representative. The 2026-27 program year is open for enrollment as of August 2026.
ADM's site also links the USDA FD-CIC tool for estimating how nutrient management combined with no-till, reduced till, or cover crops affects a field's score.
