TopSoil® Connect

Programs continue to evolve, but may include: Low-CI grain contracts, premiums by the 45Z tax credit or other sustainability initiatives.

TopSoil Connect costs $3/acre.

A CI Score is the carbon footprint score assigned to a bushel of grain, biofuel, or other product. Lower CI Scores can unlock better market opportunities, sustainability incentives, and tax benefits.

Once you’ve signed up and entered your farm data, you can explore available programs. These programs may offer premiums for low-CI grain, your generated carbon credits, or other sustainability backed outcomes.

TopSoil Connect customers get special access to Continuum Ag®’s Preferred Partners. These companies could be helpful as you progress along your soil health journey.

The BFR is a concept proposed by the USDA. This report details your farm’s agronomic practices, which are required for CI Scoring and participation in low-carbon grain programs. When you complete the TopSoil Connect program, you receive an unaudited BFR, which can be utilized when evaluating premium programs.

An audit is not required to access your unaudited BFR. However, if you wish to participate in certain premium grain markets or programs, you may need to undergo an audit. TopSoil Connect customers will receive a discount on their audit costs or program fees.

We think of this as an “options contract.” If a program fits your farm the ROI could be substantial, however, taking control of your data is the real value.

TopSoil Connect gives you the tools to manage your farm data and grants you access to programs that could pay for your efforts. While 45Z and other markets become solidified, you are making steps forward to capitalize on any emerging opportunity.
