A Climate-Smart Future for Corn, Soybean, Livestock, and Renewable Natural Gas Production
This project will enhance climate-smart markets, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and improve carbon sequestration in the production of corn, soybean, pork, and beef commodities, while creating opportunities for small and underserved producers and benefitting soil health, clean water, flood control, and habitats for native wildlife. Project plans provide financial compensation for producers to plant prairie grasses and cover crops to be harvested and converted to biogas and biofertilizer in digesters.
Partners plan to establish markets for cover crops and grassland restoration on low profit corn and soybean croplands.
