Thank you for enrolling in the ADM re:generations program. We appreciate your commitment to regenerative agriculture practices and this year’s program has been a huge success.   

What’s Next

FBN is available to schedule an appointment time that works for you to connect your production practices to your farm. (This can take place after harvest.) 

A FBN/Gradable Rep will be contacting you after harvest, but if you’d like to get started sooner you can call (773) 900-4161 to reach a Sustainability Project Leader who can help.

  • Field Boundaries will be the first step.

  • If all of your field boundaries are uploaded to FBN already, you’re all set!

  • If you have fields to add, you can connect precision application files (preferred) or share FSA docs. Your FBN rep can help.

  • Gather Info about your farm operations, including crop rotations, input usage, and conservation practices.

Important Dates

  • December 6, 2024

  • An appointment to review your farming practices must be scheduled with FBN by December 6th. The appointment can be after 12/6 but you must have something scheduled by this date or your program eligibility is subject to termination. 

  • February 28, 2025 

  • All required program information must be completed with FBN.
