Partnership creates new access to program and
sustainability incentives for farmers within The DeLong Co., Inc.
network
MINNEAPOLIS, June 27,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- CIBO Technologies, the climate
software company for agriculture, today announced a multi-year
strategic partnership with The DeLong Co., Inc., a privately-owned
and family-run enterprise based in Clinton, Wisconsin with 38 grain, agronomy and
export locations throughout the United
States. Through this collaboration, CIBO Impact helps
farmers within The DeLong Co., Inc.'s grower network find, qualify
for and enroll in regenerative agriculture incentive programs
backed by the USDA and private companies with Scope 3 emissions
targets.
Partnership at a Glance: Increase Farm Profitability, Achieve
Sustainability Goals, And Create a Resilient Supply Chain
The DeLong Co., Inc. seeks to bring new incentive opportunities
to its growers' sustainable and climate-resilient farming
practices. The DeLong Co., Inc. chose the CIBO Impact Platform to
scale access to public and private programs and incentives that
encourage farmers to adopt regenerative agriculture farming
practices. Ultimately, this leads to increased near-term
profitability by aligning, accessing, and optimizing stackable
incentives for farmers on their path to improved productivity and
long-term profitability.
"We're always looking for new ways to promote farmland
resilience and sustainability across our supply chain. Teaming up
with CIBO enables us to broaden farmer access to regenerative
agriculture programs, cutting carbon emissions, improving soil
health and harnessing financial incentives. Through CIBO's Impact,
we can oversee and validate regenerative agriculture practices at
scale," said Chris DeLong, President
of The DeLong Co., Inc.
The DeLong Co., Inc. is a trusted advisor to farmers, and can
help them unlock new opportunities from downstream customers
looking to reduce emissions in their supply chain. CIBO Impact
supports the development, delivery and management of these programs
at scale.
Together, The DeLong Co., Inc. and CIBO are able to:
- Increase Sustainable Ag Incentive Payments: Farmers
within The DeLong Co., Inc.'s grower network can access the right
combination of financial incentives to fund their practice
transition and drive farmland resilience and profitability.
- Prequalify Land & Understand the Potential
Return: Farmers and their advisors can draw or upload
field boundaries and leverage CIBO-sensed practices to
understand eligibility for incentive programs instantly.
- Deliver Simplified Program Enrollment: CIBO's
convenient workflows and scaled data make enrollment more efficient
and effective for farmers.
- Monitor Status & Generate Income: Farmers can
instantly view program and payment status on the CIBO platform and
get paid as practices are verified.
- Automatically Prequalify for New Programs: As
new incentive programs are deployed, fields will automatically run
through prequalification. Farmers are notified of new
opportunities.
- Navigate the complexity of NRCS Programs: CIBO's
program engine digitizes the workflow of NRCS applications and
drives farmers towards those practices that are most likely to be
funded in their region.
Dan Ryan, CEO of CIBO
Technologies, added, "CIBO takes pride in partnering with
organizations like The DeLong Company, to scale access to
regenerative agriculture program incentives. Whether it's building
initiatives to reduce Scope 3 emissions or simplifying the
application from USDA funding, CIBO stands as a strategic
technology provider, committed to empowering farmers and our
customers."
