Illinois Cover Crop Initiative

Cover crops are a critical component of soil health farming systems, and they provide a multitude of agronomic and environmental benefits to the land. Producers who employ effective management strategies can improve the function of their soil and reduce their environmental impact while maintaining improving their profitability.  

Please see our resources section below for more information and reference guides related to soil health and cover crop management.  

ADM re:generations 2026 & 2027

Enrollment in the 2026 and 2027 ADM re:generations™ Program is open. Farmers can now enroll in the 2026 program, the 2027 program, or both at the same time. The enrollment deadline for both 2026 & 2027 programs is October 2, 2026. Availability is on a first come, first served basis. 

Important changes to programs: Corn and/or Soybeans must be sold directly to ADM and delivered to a qualifying ADM location during the 2026-2027 crop year.

If you are interested in starting or expanding cover crops ahead of corn or soybeans, please reach out to Torey or Jenny to start planning today!
