The 2022 Truterra carbon program and carbon market access programs provide farmers a profitable way to get rewarded for their stewardship. These programs include opportunities for farmers who recently changed practices to improve soil health as well as for farmers who are just beginning their carbon journey.
Work with the Leader in Soil Carbon Programs
When you choose Truterra for your carbon program, you can trust you are in good hands. Truterra is one of the largest carbon credit programs in the US, offering unparalleled speed in the market from program enrollment to farmer payments. As the premier farmer-driven carbon program, we focus on generating the industry’s highest farmer return per acre and have been described as the most farmer-favorable contract opportunity in the marketplace.
Earn $20/ton for additional carbon removed due to practice changes on eligible land for up to five years back with no fees and favorable contract terms. Participating farmers will receive a one-time payment paid in full upon completion of verification (fall 2022).

Earn $2/acre for eligible practice change in crop year 2022 with no long-term commitment. The Truterra carbon market access program rewards you for taking the first step toward improving soil health in preparation to market your carbon next year.
