MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 5,
2024 /CNW/ - Ceres Global Ag Corp. (TSX: CRP)
("Ceres" or the "Corporation") a global agricultural,
energy and industrial products merchandising and supply chain
company, today announced the continuation and expansion of their
regenerative agriculture partnership with Miller Milling ("Miller"), one of the largest
wheat millers in the U.S.
Ceres' regenerative agriculture program delivers local, scalable
solutions to wheat growers in North
Dakota. By implementing advanced nutrient practices, the
program improves both agronomic and environmental outcomes,
enabling the adoption of sustainable practices that enhance
nutrient use efficiency. Ultimately, this benefits the entire
supply chain, from growers to millers.
"Our collaboration with Miller
Milling started in 2023 to support their regenerative
agriculture program. Since its inception, we have experienced
significant growth and are looking forward to further expansion of
this collaboration in 2025, providing Miller's extensive network of
flour mills with North Dakota
wheat grown using regenerative ag practices," said Carlos Paz, CEO of Ceres. "Our program de-risks
the adoption of new practices for growers and fosters connections
between farmers and flour millers. Through the continued success of
this program, we look forward to working with Miller in this
expanded partnership, furthering our vision of enabling our
customers to do great things, and creating a more integrated,
resilient, and efficient supply chain."
"As part of our partnership with Ceres, we've expanded our
enrolled acres in the program from 4,500 acres across 5 growers to
16,800 acres across 15 growers," said Marty
Moran, Senior Director of EHS & Sustainability of
Miller. "Our commitment to sustainability has always been a core
focus at Miller, and we're pleased to continue collaborating with
Ceres to help growers improve nitrogen efficiency and reduce GHG
emissions."
Ceres implements its regenerative agriculture program with a
hands-on approach, being in the fields either directly or
indirectly through joint ventures and third-party partners. By
leveraging Ceres' comprehensive regenerative agriculture solutions
and partnerships with farmers and end-users, the Corporation aims
to be at the forefront of driving the adoption of sustainable
growing practices.
