A huge thank you to BioSTL and Missouri Soybeans for the invitation to speak to innovative #farmers in #Missouri to hear about their experiences with #regenag and share how we are serving the 150,000+ acres of partner farms we have in the #MississippiDelta through our Soil+ program.

We wrapped up an incredible dinner in Newport and a field day in Clarksdale, connecting with passionate growers and thought leaders. The energy was contagious! Here's what we shared: 💵 How we witness the power of regenerative practices on our own farms, with year-over-year decreases in input costs and improved efficiency 🌱 How we field-test and localize regenerative approaches to meet the Delta region's unique needs 💡 How growers can get tailored regen insights and hands-on support with our newly launched Vayda Soil+ program – we already have 50+ Delta farmers on board and we're just getting started Huge thank you to everyone who came out! We look forward to working alongside you all as we try to improve farming operations while preserving the land for the future. Learn more about the new Soil+ program here: https://lnkd.in/gAg4qE_C

🚜🌾 Join us at the Future of Food Minneapolis! We are excited to invite you to join us at the Future of Food Minneapolis, one of the premier food and agriculture events in the US, held on May 29-30 and organized by Innovation Forum. This is a cornerstone event for professionals looking to shape the future of our industry. We're proud to announce that Danny Blalock, our Chief Farm Operations Officer, will participate in an important breakout discussion on "Farmer Data as Currency: Ensuring Farmers Benefit from the Commoditization of Agricultural Data". In the session, Danny will talk about how Vayda helps growers leverage their data to realize an efficient transition to regenerative agriculture, de-risking the change through data-driven agronomics. Danny will also share Vayda’s perspective on how farmers can ensure they benefit from their environmental impact and data. #FutureOfFood #RegenerativeAgriculture #Agriculture #FarmData #SustainableFarming #AgTech #FarmersFirst #AgInnovation #FarmToTable #FarmLife

🎙 Listen to our CEO Michael Shoemaker on the latest Innovation Forum podcast where he deep dives into the transformative world of regenerative agriculture. Hosted by Ian Welsh, this insightful conversation sheds light on why regenerative farming isn't just about soil carbon and sustainability goals – it's about farm profitability and climate resilience. At Vayda, we go beyond the buzz of "carbon farming" to demonstrate how regenerative practices make sense for any farmer. We're committed to helping growers transition seamlessly from conventional methods, ensuring they see real benefits in profitability and soil health right from the start. Why listen? Because the future of farming depends on more than just good intentions. It requires actionable insights and proven results. Discover how regenerative agriculture can enhance farm profitability and ensure the resilience of supply chains, making it a sensible choice for farmers and companies alike. #regenerativeagriculture #sustainablefarming #agriculture #sustainability

We are very proud to be highlighted by Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan as one of the key ways that OTPP is investing in more sustainable agricultural production systems. OTPP manages the retirement funds for 340,000 public school teachers and administrators. Their partnership is a tremendous asset!

At Vayda, we operate our Proving Ground farms so that we can test and trial different sustainable management practices. We are always looking for ways to improve the efficiency of our operations, especially when it comes to fertilizer use. This year we will be testing polysulfate as an alternative slow-release form of sulfur in row rice. We'll conduct a replicated strip trial that will evaluate polysulfate's impact on plant growth, nitrogen use efficiency, crop yield, and ROI compared to our standard application of ammonium sulfate. The results from this trial will be used to determine if polysulfate can be used more widely on our farms in future years 👀

🌎🌱 Happy Earth Day! Today we are celebrating our beautiful planet and the role farmers play as dedicated stewards of the land. Farmers have long protected and nurtured the Earth, and they continue to do so in exploring new sustainable and precision-focused farming practices. We recognize the important role they play in ensuring a thriving planet for generations to come, and are grateful for everything they do. Pictured below are cover crops from one of our fields this past spring. We love seeing life flourish on our farms year-round and witnessing the multitude of benefits they bring in building soil health. #earthday #agriculture #regenerativeagriculture
