This program is designed for ranchers in South Dakota, North Dakota, Minnesota, and Montana who are interested in opportunities to improve herd productivity.

Terms

Ranching for the Future is designed for producers who want to fine-tune their operations, optimize resources, and increase profitability while strengthening the health of their land and livestock.

Backed by McDonald's and one of their suppliers OSI Group, Ranching for the Future helps ranchers improve key areas of their operation, including:

Herd Management – Fine-tune feed efficiency and increase weight gain
Diet Management – Strategic feed supplements and creep feeding to support growth.
Field Management – Improve fertilizer and manure efficiency, boost forage availability, and get more out of every acre.

How it Works

We know that there aren't one-size-fits-all solutions in agriculture. Through the Ranching for the Future Program, AgSpire will work with you one-on-one to understand what opportunities exist for your operation.

After visiting your ranch and learning about your goals, our advisors will help identify management changes and create a custom improvement plan. With a herd specialist and agronomist working together on this project, they will provide technical assistance to get the most out of the suggested changes.

Cost and payments

Signing up with AgSpire and enrolling in any of our programs is completely free for farmers and ranchers.

Once contract conditions are met and practices have been verified (usually through a verification visit, testing for outcomes, and/or physical verification such as receipts), AgSpire will make payments to producers, which are distributed quarterly.
