Sustainability

Sustainability goes beyond simply setting goals and hoping to accomplish them. We work together with our farmer growers and our food companies to find common ground to accomplish goals that make sense for all parties involved. We know that each customer has unique expectations for sustainability, and it’s our goal to work together to fulfill those expectations.

 

From carbon credit programs, to local sourcing and biodiversity conservation, our staff works diligently to ensure the three pillars of sustainability: people, planet, and profit are part of the conversation. Learn more by reaching out to Lisa Woodke, sustainability director at Star of the West.

Sustainability Platforms.

Truterra™ Insights Engine is a tool to help growers track practices on individual fields and predict future economic and conservation benefits. Truterra™, a farmer- owned business, also has a carbon program, a soil health program and many other programs available across our geography.

Farmers who participate in certain sustainability programs may be asked to use the AgriEdge platform from Syngenta to track their data. This tool helps farms make data-driven conservation decisions. Throughout the year you’ll track machinery passes, tillage, application rates and more to receive a year-end analysis for your farm and selected crops.
