Precision Conservation Management (PCM) has partnered with PepsiCo to help farmers get paid for the conservation practice benefits they produce in PepsiCo’s supply chain. Farmers are eligible to receive up to $35 per acre for new or existing practices including cover crops, reduced tillage, and reduced nitrogen rates. There is no cap on number of acres per farmer, and practice payments are stackable with state or federal programs!
Learn more about the PepsiCo incentive program here, and contact your regional PCM Specialist to inquire about enrolling in this program.
Beyond these cost-share opportunities, PCM offers farmers individual financial and environmental analysis to help you find the most profitable in-field practices on your farm. There is no cost to enroll, and no commitment to change your farming practices. Take advantage of this opportunity to protect your farm’s bottom line by enrolling in PCM!
