Cargill Corn Milling - Eddyville Project
Cargill has made a commitment to key supply chain customers to help source sustainable ingredients. Cargill projects in Field to Market are process facility-based and will enable our customers to credibly meet their sustainability sourcing goals while bringing value to corn producers. The projects will create a platform that allows participating growers in Cargill’s supply chain to gain and share best practices about the benefits/risks of their management decisions across a number of sustainable metrics, to allow customers to claim sustainable ingredient inclusion in their products, and to allow NGOs and others to claim environmental improvement based on project-specific data.

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.
