Truterra Teams up with Indigo to Launch Carbon Program with Expanded Eligibility

August 18, 2025 – Truterra, LLC today announces the launch of the 2025 Truterra® Registered Carbon Program with Indigo aiming to expand eligibility and unlock financial incentives for farmers implementing regenerative practices on their fields.
This launch is the first project under the strategic collaboration between Truterra and Indigo Ag, Inc. announced in November 2024, when both companies announced goals to drive simplification, standardization and scale for farmers, retailers and agribusinesses, and buyers alike. Both companies will continue operating their own sustainability programs.
 
Eligible farmers will experience hands-on support available through Truterra and Truterra network providers to generate registry-certified credits from Indigo’s carbon project. As a potential benefit of this program, Truterra may pay eligible farmers in two stages, with an advance payment after credit issuance and prior to the completion of credit sale. Farmers are anticipated to receive a program payment in 2027-2028, depending on the timeline of project credit sale.

Expanded Geographies and Crop Types
There are new geographies and crop types included in this program compared to Truterra’s past offerings. Crop types include: barley, canola, corn, cotton, dry beans or peas, flax, hemp, millet, oats, peanuts, rye, grain sorghum or milo, soybeans, sugar beets, sunflowers, triticale, and wheat. Eligible states the program is targeting include: Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Minnesota, Mississippi, North Carolina, North Dakota, Nebraska, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin.

Eligible Practices
Eligible practices are rotation-based, meaning that adopting the practice on a new crop type may be eligible even if the practice has been used on a different crop type in the same field previously. Core practice changes include:

• Cover crop usage
• Strip/no-till
• Addition of a legume species to an existing cover crop mix

Additionally, for counties where a core practice is considered common, a supplementary practice must be adopted in addition to a core practice to be potentially eligible. These practices include:

• Cover crop enhancement (longer duration) 
• Crop rotation enhancement (new cash crop)  
• Nitrogen enhancement

Enrollment Period
The enrollment period for the program runs from now until September 2, 2025, or until the program cap is reached. Farmers interested in participating are encouraged to reach out to Truterra for more information and support in the application process.
