Ardent Mills Kansas Breadbasket Project
The pilot group’s performance will be summarized and each participant will receive their own tailored report which provides an annual snapshot of their environmental performance using the Field to Market methodology coupled with practical agronomic insights. The Ardent Mills Kansas Breadbasket Project will also host annual grower workshops to provide actionable insights, guidance, review program accomplishments and create an educational feedback loop between Sponsors and grower participants Through the deployment of the Agrible Platform, producers will also receive daily insights to help improve their farm’s decision-making process which leads to the potential for enhanced productivity, profitability, and improvements to their environmental footprint.
Engagement Targets
Notes: (1) Minor fluctuations in the number of retained growers is expected from year to year. These fluctuations may be due to year-over-year crop rotation effects or other factors beyond the control of the project. Enrolled acres represent the total number of acres on an individual farm in a specific year. The ability to report enrolled acres is based on the Fieldprint Project Standard requirement that individual growers enrolled in projects enter at least 10% of the acres managed for a specific crop. (2) Entered acres represent the actual number of enrolled acres for which data is entered in the Fieldprint Platform for analysis.
Objectives
We continued to evaluate Practical Nutrient Management Solutions with Growers at Commercial Scale.
Ardent Mills, Nutrien Ag Solutions, and growers in this region have partnered to achieve progress. By leveraging sound agronomy from Nutrien Ag Solutions’ crop consultants—tailored to each grower—and utilizing the Fieldprint® Calculator integrated into Agrible, we provide valuable data back to growers and partners in the form of personalized reports, enabling us to measure progress effectively. In addition, the project creates opportunities for growers to access additional revenue streams. This all helps to drive sustainability throughout the supply chain. Each partner shares their story through various channels to promote transparency and reinforce the message that, no matter how big or small the effort, we are making meaningful progress.
