Together We Rise
In agriculture, our routines may look different, but our roots are the same. Find out why we're better together.
As a leader in creating solutions for climate mitigation, we are constantly working to develop technology that provides environmental benefits while working with partners throughout the value chain to offer incentives for producers.
We understand that environmental impact and commodity pricing are some of the largest stressors for beef and dairy producers. As a part of our commitment to the environment, the Enogen Feed Forward™ opportunity incentivizes producers in the U.S. to feed Enogen® corn in their rations to help reduce certain environmental impacts of beef production.
University research has shown that feeding Enogen as silage or grain can improve feed efficiency by about 5%.1 Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) shows that increasing feed efficiency by about 5% in backgrounding and the feed yard or by 3-4%* in the dairy per 1,000 head could result in significant environmental savings, including lower emissions of greenhouse gases and lower use of land, energy and water.2
Through the Feed Forward opportunity, partners can show support for producers while also reducing their carbon footprint through the benefits provided by feeding cattle Enogen corn. Under this opportunity, producers will receive a per-head, per-day incentive for feeding Enogen.
“The opportunity is a true win/win for the agriculture industry, providing climate benefits while also providing an additional source of revenue for producers.” – Chris Cook, Head, Enogen Business Solutions
For the Feed Forward opportunity, participants will commit to using Enogen in their feed rations at the rate and timing required to result in climate benefits, according to the LCA. This includes feeding Enogen as 50% or greater of the starch rations for a full turn, from feed yard entrance to exit, for a set number of days per opportunity details. Reporting requirements include a Enogen Stewardship Contract, a closeout report, a completed eLuminate contract and a seed invoice.
