My partnership with Choice Cotton and Autauga Quality Cotton created an introduction point for me with Indigo. It was very exciting to me to be able to substantiate the sustainability claims of our product. We were able to quickly validate our practices by leveraging our existing data and be able to bring forth an authentic partnership.
Liz Spruell | Alabama Cotton Farmer
We got started with some cover crops maybe four or five of five years ago. We thought it was the best move for our farm to try to raise our soil health, our soil fertility, and try to get it to where we're gonna be able to grow better yields and be more productive as a farmer.
Lance Unger | Indiana Farmer
Using the Indigo seed treatments, we hit our first 100/bu soybeans an acre milestone. It was about a 20/bu acre increase over our other acres. Hitting this milestone is a big deal here and something I’ve never been able to do.
Hollis Mankin | Southeast AR
The opportunity to visit with scientists, and see the desire to improve agriculture as we see it, be able to improve profitability for the farmer, those are great things that Indigo has brought to the market that we want to be a part of.
Greg Baltz | Arkansas Rice Farmer
We are doing everything we know how to do the best way we can — the most financially sound way we can. If we have partners on the consumer side, to pay for more environmentally sustainable practices, then it’s a win-win for everybody.
Jeff Rutledge | Arkansas Rice Farmer
I was averaging 60 bushels per acre where I’m normally at 40-43. The difference is so drastic between Indigo and non-Indigo wheat that the hands running the combine called me to tell me that they thought something was wrong with the meters on the fields.
Jason Streit | Vernon, TX
I was able to apply less fungicide to my rice crop this year because of the Indigo treatment.
John W. Garrett III | Provident City, TX
We've bagged a lot of bushels of grain this year and that gave me the opportunity to use the Indigo Marketplace. I get on there daily, and almost daily, they're sending me new bids.
Jeremy Butler | Macksville, KS
We just need to change our mindset and utilize what the earth gives us in agriculture. More carbon in the soil will create healthy soils, bring back the biology, and create a more resilient system. And while we are at it, we can help save the earth.
Mike Bretz | Iowa
We want to make sure we are here for many more generations. We do this by striving to always take care of the land.
Kasey Bryant Bamberger | Ohio Farmer
I was averaging 60 bushels per acre where I’m normally at 40-43. The difference is so drastic between Indigo and non-Indigo wheat that the hands running the combine called me to tell me that they thought something was wrong with the meters on the fields. The Indigo Monument is by far the best wheat I have ever harvested, and the custom harvesters I work with say that it is the best wheat in my area – hands down.
Jason Streit | Vernon, TX
The problem that we needed to address was soil conservation and keeping our top soil in the fields. We turned to no-till to do that. A lot of it is just taking care of the land, making sure there's something here for the next generation and just improving upon what we've got because we've got really great resources in this country and we need to conserve them or improve them.
Quinn Johnson | Nebraska Farmer
Seeing the microbial seed treatment work on our tougher soil types gives me peace of mind knowing that we have an advantage to make it through the tougher times.
Will Tipton | Arkansas Farmer
We tested Indigo's biological treatment on 300 acres of wheat to start. It was a night and day difference. 10 bushels an acre more than our untreated fields. It even bumped up our variety's protein content, which ended up netting us a 37 cent premium. Next year, guess what we did? Put that seed treatment on all our wheat, and row crop acres too.
Jon Johnson | Kansas Farm and Ranch Management
The ability to sell carbon as a new crop ... it’s going to fundamentally change what we do on the farm. We’ll get paid for something other than yield.
Ben Riensche | Partner, Blue Diamond Farms, Iowa
I'd recommend using Indigo to my neighbors. I had some poor ground that wouldn’t grow soybeans. That’s where we put the Indigo. Well, they looked good all year and the best yield we have ever had on that ground. If you were to ask me, I'd say 'hammer down' and go with Indigo.
Chad Waddill | Arkansas
Farmers always want to do the right thing and they want to continue on so that operation can go generation to generation. It all starts with agronomy and it has to be right for the operation and the field and that farm. We're not looking for flash in the pan one year commitments. We really want to make sure it's sustainable long term and it's good for that operation.
Casey Onstot | Marketing Leader
We believe that the Indigo seed treatment line is a great value add for our seed customers here in Oklahoma. Anything that we can offer to help offset the adverse conditions thrown our way is advantageous.
Joe Caughlin | Caughlin Seed
Indigo’s approach to changing and improving farming by adjusting long-standing farming practice while revolutionizing how crops are managed inspired me to think bigger about solutions to fight climate change. At Epiphany Malt, the small grains we use are the foundation to our excellence in malting. We want to start where it matters most to us, in the field.
Sebastian Wolfrum | Founder & Director of Malting & Roasting Operations, Epiphany Craft Malt
Our farmers are looking for options like biotrinsic® so they can feel confident starting the season. We’ve seen strong performance from these biologicals on our demo plots - the crops produced are healthier and more resilient. It’s been great to partner with Indigo, and we’re excited to see the portfolio continue to grow.
George Harris | Farmer in Iowa & Co-Owner
We had tried various biologicals in the past with no consistent yield advantages for our customers. We trialed biotrinsic® this year and could see differences from the start in early seed vigor and bigger roots. We were impressed to see yield advantages across multiple counties and growing conditions. It seems to be a very consistent product adding and protecting yield through various environments.
Brooks Horn | Sweetwater Creed Seeds, North Carolina
It's a one-stop-shop for a merchandiser, a location manager, and a grain marketer. It helps everybody to understand what the markets are doing. So, when you call, you haven't caught me off guard. I'm ready and on my A-game.
Janette Smith | GROW Solutions Center, Landus
As the first apparel brand to partner with Indigo, we are excited about the positive environmental impacts regenerative cotton production can have not only for The North Face products, but for our industry as a whole. Regenerative products have the ability to shift the industry from simply ‘doing less harm’ to actually replenishing or having a positive impact on nature and resources, and as a brand that is committed to protecting the outdoor places we love to play, we believe this is another critical step in addressing climate change impacts in our supply chain.
Carol Shu | Senior Manager of Global Sustainability
Today we lead with the conviction that more sustainably grown coffee is more delicious. We know that through beneficial farming, applying regenerative practices, we can actually improve the health of our soils, reduce atmospheric carbon, and enjoy a more productive, higher- quality crop that’s more profitable for our farmers, great for consumers, and ultimately good for our future on the planet.
Audrey Waldrop | Sustainability Manager, Blue Bottle Coffee
Agriculture-based carbon credits are truly differentiated and unique. They're always going to be viewed as tier one, or the top quality carbon credits in the market.
Jed Lynch | Barclays
We built Airly with a mission to reverse climate change through food, acknowledging that's an audacious goal, but we are fundamentally driven by the fact that agriculture has a big role to play in that overall solution. As you get out into the market and you start to demonstrate the consumer demand, a lot more people start jumping in.
Jennifer McKnight | Co-Founder, Airly Foods, Post Holdings
There are very few natural climate solution projects out there right now that deal with the removal and sequestration of carbon that have the potential to scale. What attracted us to Indigo is the scale and the reach, and the ability to bring a scientifically credible verification to the program. We think that farmers can play a big part, and there’s a great opportunity in that.
Tim Faveri | VP of Sustainability & Shared Value, Maple Leaf Foods
Soil is one of nature's most powerful carbon storage solutions. The world needs ambitious companies like Indigo Ag to develop and scale soil-based projects to help stop climate change.
Stacy Kauk | Head Of Sustainability
BCG is excited to partner with Indigo Ag as they develop promising technologies. The world needs viable, scalable, and high-quality carbon sequestration projects to address the climate crisis.
Rich Lesser | CEO
We have transparency with Indigo. Our growers are connected to a platform, where we can transmit data back and forth and deliver insights to them. We’re focused on how we can help the farmer be even better next year.
