The numbers are in - and we are excited to share this latest update about AgSpire's producer network. Our goal with the network is to reach farmers and ranchers around the country who are ready to adopt regenerative and sustainable practices, offering practical and impactful programs to help enable that adoption. 52% of producers in our producer network are also actively enrolled in one of the programs we manage - through which they are planting conservation cover, reducing tillage, and increasing their crop diversity and rotations, among other efficiency and management improvements.
