Cost-Share

Exclusive Opportunities to Get Paid for Conservation

When you enroll in PCM, you can earn per-acre payments for the conservation practices you use on your farm. These payments come through PCM’s supply chain partnerships and aren’t available anywhere else.

Why do they exist? Companies that buy Midwest grain have sustainability goals to meet, and our partners have chosen to meet them by supporting the farmers who grow their ingredients. PCM cost-share programs create a bridge between companies who need sustainable products and the farmers who grow them.

Practices That Pay

PCM cost-share programs offer per-acre payments for reduced tillage, nitrogen management, and/or cover crops.

Already using these practices? New and existing practices are both eligible for payment. 

Already enrolled in other incentive programs? Your PCM Specialist can help you stack these partner incentives with other incentive programs available in your area!

TILLAGE

Earn $5-10 per acre for reduced or less intensive tillage passes. Plus, save money on fuel, labor, equipment wear and soil loss!

NITROGEN
