Continuum Ag is proud to announce that farmers can now access their Carbon Intensity (CI) Score for FREE using our proprietary software, TopSoil. This initiative is part of our ambitious Billion Bushel Challenge, aimed at scoring the first billion bushels of grain produced by farmers for biofuels.
With 5.4 billion bushels of corn feeding into ethanol production annually, now is the perfect time for farmers to understand the carbon footprint of their grain. By offering CI Scores for FREE, Continuum Ag is empowering farmers to take control of their environmental impact while unlocking future financial opportunities.
“We’re on a mission to activate farmers across the country, helping them better understand what’s happening beneath their soil and harnessing the power of technology to do so,” says Mitchell Hora, 7th Generation Farmer and CEO of Continuum Ag. “Carbon Intensity is the new scoreboard for agriculture, and there’s no reason farmers shouldn’t take advantage of this free tool to get their CI Score and explore the value it can bring.”
What’s a CI Score and Why Does it Matter?
A CI Score measures your farm’s carbon footprint—quantifying the environmental impact of your crop production. With this data in hand, farmers can verify that their sustainable practices are making a measurable difference. Continuum Ag’s CI Scores are powered by the Department of Energy’s GREET Feedstock Calculator, ensuring that all results align with the pending Section 45Z regulations for biofuels.
5 Reasons to Get Your CI Score from Continuum Ag:
- It’s 100% FREE.
- It’s designed by farmers for farmers—simple and intuitive.
- Takes less than 15 minutes to complete.
- The units and methods align with the Section 45Z Tax Credit.
- You own your data—your CI Score is completely yours and won’t be shared.
Unlock Financial Potential with Biofuels
By obtaining your CI Score through TopSoil.ag, you gain not only a deeper understanding of your carbon footprint but also insight into the financial opportunities tied to biofuel production. As the 45Z Tax Credit unfolds, farmers with lower CI Scores may gain new revenue opportunities through collaborations with ethanol plants.
“Farmers and biofuels are essential partners enabling each other’s future,” Hora continues. “With the Billion Bushel Challenge, we are proving that farmers are doing a nice job at decarbonizing and are a critical component of a low carbon future.”
