Farmers for Sustainable Food showcases achievements in 2023 Progress Report

Publication highlights collective efforts to unite, inspire and empower farmers

Farmers for Sustainable Food today announced the release of its 2023 Progress Report, an annual publication that outlines the organization’s significant milestones and achievements in the past year.

One of the most significant achievements was the launch and implementation of the FSF Climate-Smart Sustainability Program. This program, managed in collaboration with Edge Dairy Farmer Cooperative and funded through the USDA Partnerships for Climate-Smart Commodities program, builds on the learnings over the past eight years of working with farmer-led watershed conservation groups. The report highlights the results of the farmer-led groups and the impact their conservation practices are making, setting the stage for the Climate-Smart program.

“This past year has provided many opportunities for our organization to grow and expand on our mission to empower farmers in their conservation journeys,” said Lauren Brey, FSF Managing Director. “The launch of our Climate-Smart Program was a pivotal moment for us in 2023, and we’re excited to continue supporting more farmers in the future.”

Other key highlights of the 2023 Progress Report include:

  • 2023 Farmer-led group survey results — In 2023, 254 farmers from six farmer-led groups supported by FSF participated in the annual survey, encompassing 249,628 acres and 353,037 head of livestock. The results capture farmers’ conservation efforts statewide, demonstrating continued progress and environmental benefits.
  • Farmer-led group media training — FSF hosted a message and media training workshop for farmer-led watershed conservation group members to build confidence and practice sharing their stories with the media.
  • Sustainability projects update — The Lafayette Ag Stewardship Alliance completed its fourth year of its ongoing sustainability project and Peninsula Pride Farms completed its third year. The results show the continued conservation efforts of these farmer-led watershed conservation groups.

Annual survey captures farmers’ 2023 conservation progress

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Wisconsin farmers are making progress in sustainable farming practices, according to the results of the annual conservation survey supported by Farmers for Sustainable Foods. The report, released today, captures farmers’ conservation efforts statewide, demonstrating continued progress and environmental benefits.

This report marks the sixth consecutive year of documenting conservation practices with farmer-led conservation groups, signifying the farmers’ commitment to continuous improvement and enhancing soil and water quality.

In 2023, 254 farmers from six different farmer-led groups supported by Farmers for Sustainable Food participated in the annual survey, encompassing 249,628 acres and 353,037 head of livestock.

The sustainable practices measured and recorded in the survey include soil sampling, nutrient management planning, cover cropping, reduced tillage, no-tillage, low disturbance manure application, variable rate fertilizer application, split nitrogen application, nitrogen stabilizer, and planting green. 

Results show potential environmental improvements due to sustainable farming practices. These conservation efforts provide valuable benefits to climate health, soil health and water quality throughout the state:

  • Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 33,617 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents, equivalent to the emissions produced by 8,001 cars in a year.
  • Prevention of sediment loss from farm fields of 338,391 tons, equivalent to 33,839 dump trucks’ worth of soil.
  • Reduction of phosphorus runoff by 423,958 pounds of phosphorus, potentially preventing 211.9 million pounds of algae growth in local water bodies.

Data was analyzed and verified by FSF and the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection.

“Farmers are making remarkable progress in sustainable farming and the data demonstrates their commitment is working,” FSF Managing Director Lauren Brey said. “We are proud to partner with the farmer-led groups in their conservation efforts and recognize the extraordinary impact they have on improving the environment and their local communities.”

The farmer-led groups participating in the survey include Calumet County Ag Stewardship Alliance, Dodge County Farmers for Healthy Soil Healthy Water, Lafayette Ag Stewardship Alliance, Peninsula Pride Farms, Sheboygan River Progressive Farmers and Western Wisconsin Conservation Council.

Farmers for Sustainable Food, Edge Dairy Farmer Cooperative host Climate-Smart informational webinar

Enrollment has begun in the Farmers for Sustainable Food Climate-Smart Program, which uses data to inform how farming practices can potentially generate added value for the food the farms produce.

Edge Dairy Farmer Cooperative and Farmers for Sustainable Food held a Climate-Smart informational webinar earlier this month. The webinar offered insight into the group’s multi-year USDA’s Partnership for Climate-Smart Commodities Program, including the different levels of farmer involvement.

FSF’s Managing Director Lauren Brey shared program details and answered attendee questions, explaining how farmers can help connect the supply chain by sharing data with downstream partners.

“Our projects enable unique connections to the processor in the supply chain so that you can monetize the farmer’s data and the work they’re doing on their farms,” Brey said.

Based on the Framework for Farm-Level Sustainability Projects created nearly three years ago by FSF and other partners, the program is data-driven and does not require any practice changes.

“Farmers have the opportunity to speak with experts so they can better understand their data and talk about what that means for their farm’s goals,” Brey said.

Farmers can receive up to $9,000 in annual stipends based on participation level, and farms of all sizes are welcome to participate.

A recording of the webinar can be viewed on the Farmers for Sustainable Food website, farmersforsustainablefood.com, or their YouTube channel for those who were unable to attend.

Farmers interested in enrolling should send an email to climate-smart@voiceofmilk.com.

Farmers for Sustainable Food member Sandy Larson speaks at USDA Partnerships for Climate-Smart Commodities event

Farmers for Sustainable Food member Sandy Larson speaks at USDA Partnerships for Climate-Smart Commodities event

Farmers for Sustainable Food member Sandy Larson of Larson Acres presented yesterday at a United States Department of Agriculture Partnerships for Climate-Smart Commodities event. She spoke about the values important to her every day on her family’s farm: quality, pride and family and how these values are reinforced in her work through the Farmers for Sustainable Food Climate-Smart Program. 

Larson is a fifth-generation dairy farmer from Rock County, Wis., who farms alongside three generations of family members. Larson Acres was established in 1957 and today consists of 75 employees, 2,800 cows and more than 5,000 acres of farmland.  

“Successfully teaching and passing the farm to the next generation is important to us; that is our vision at Larson Acres,” Larson said. “We do this by upholding our values in how we live every day.” 

As a member of the Lafayette Ag Stewardship Alliance and Farmers for Sustainable Food, Larson participated in a pilot sustainability project from 2019 to 2022, which involved tracking and analyzing data to demonstrate the local impact of conservation practices on the environment and farm finances. With the FSF Climate-Smart Program enrollment underway today, Larson has decided to continue their sustainability efforts through this program, building on the pilot project work. Initial funding for the program comes from a U.S. Department of Agriculture Partnerships for Climate-Smart Commodities. 

“This Climate-Smart program helps us set up an avenue for the technical assistance needed and expertise it takes to evaluate this data on our farm,” Larson said. “We use it to make informed management decisions that benefit our environmental stewardship.” 

U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Thomas Vilsack spoke about Climate-Smart projects happening throughout the state, saying they offer new opportunities for farmers of all sizes, including financial incentives for farmers, data tracking and potential new revenue streams. Vilsack says the program creates multiple sources of income that respond to the challenges farmers face today. 

“The gist of this program is partnership and collaboration, working together to create new opportunities,” Vilsack said. “This is an opportunity for farmers to be entrepreneurial, expand their income streams and be sustainable.” 

The event was held at Great River Milling in Fountain City, Wis., to celebrate the launch of the first-ever Climate-Smart branded consumer product under the USDA Partnerships for Climate-Smart Commodities initiative. 

“Today’s announcement represents the first of what I suspect will be hundreds of products that are produced in the country to resolve and to respond to consumer demand for sustainably produced food but also provide an opportunity for farmers to get a better share in the marketplace,” Vilsack said.

Background: what you do/how you got involved with sustainability? 

Sustainability is at the heart of all farmers. Growing up in agriculture, I’ve noticed a trend toward increased involvement and education in new technology, conservation, and sustainability. At Compeer Financial, I am focused on finding new opportunities and solutions for clients and staying ahead of the consumer landscape. There have been many opportunities to be involved in the carbon and sustainability economy. In the second half of my career, I plan to focus on helping farmers with program development and education.

 

What farmer-led group are you involved in, and what do you enjoy about the group?

Compeer Financial is part of the Farm Credit Services, a farmer-owned financial cooperative network. Since starting my career 25 years ago, I quickly came to appreciate the impact of providing steady credit investments that farmers need. We have roughly 70,000 farmer owners who benefit from Compeer’s focus on agriculture investment and services. I have worked to provide leadership to rural American farmers during my career. It has allowed me to be a spokesperson for agriculture at different levels of government, education systems and community events.

 

Why did you want to join FSF and serve on the board? 

Farmers for Sustainable Food embodies what I’m currently working towards in my professional career: creating new channels of value for farmers while advocating for the agronomic practices that farmers are already doing. Growing up in the dairy industry and advancing my career, this is an opportunity for me to contribute my energy to advance the mission of FSF.

 
Why should others join FSF?  

Farmers today need resources and support to assist them in navigating their business through the developing channel of sustainability and conservation. All farmers want the most from their operations for productivity; FSF can help them advance their businesses by providing tools and education. Connected to the Sustainability Program funding, FSF can also provide a channel of opportunity for family farms to grow and prosper in a consumer-demanded world to be accountable to sustainability. FSF will make a difference in our farmer community by ensuring we align resources, networks, tools, measurement and a voice.

Background: what you do/how you got involved with sustainability? 

I am a dairy farmer and got involved with sustainability through my experiences as a farmer and with the Sheboygan River Progressive Farmers watershed group.

 

What farmer-led group are you involved in, and what do you enjoy about the group?

I am involved in the Sheboygan River Progressive Farmers (SRPF) watershed group, and I enjoy sharing information and the learning opportunities I get from being involved with this group.

 

Why did you want to join FSF and serve on the board? 

I was asked if I would serve as a board member. I thought it would be an excellent opportunity to serve a worthy cause and continue to learn about the ever-evolving sustainability journey.

 
Why should others join FSF?  

As farmers, we have strength when we collaborate and build strong teams to take on the challenges that modern agriculture faces. By joining FSF, farms can learn and be part of solving the problems that we face together.

Farmers for Sustainable Food, Edge Dairy Farmer Cooperative to host Climate-Smart informational webinar

Find out how farmers can begin monetizing their sustainability efforts

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Edge Dairy Farmer Cooperative and Farmers for Sustainable Food will present a Climate-Smart informational webinar on March 12 from 11:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. CST. The webinar will provide insight on the group’s multi-year USDA’s Partnership for Climate-Smart Commodities Program after recently announcing that the program is accepting farmer enrollment.

FSF’s Managing Director Lauren Brey will share program details and how farmers can participate and earn financial compensation.

The Farmers for Sustainable Food Climate-Smart Program uses data to inform how farming practices can potentially generate added value for the food the farms produce. It is grounded in FSF’s Framework for Farm-Level Sustainability Projects, a nationally recognized, proven model that has been the foundation of several multi-year sustainability projects across two states.

“The FSF Climate-Smart Program is unlike many others because we are not requiring farmers to implement any specific practice changes,” Brey said. “We provide farmers with the necessary tools and resources to help guide them in their management decisions and adopt sustainable practices that are right for their farms.”

Two projects were launched earlier this year as part of the program. The first farmer payment was issued last month.

“We are excited by the initial interest and participation in this opportunity,” Tim Trotter, CEO of Edge Dairy Farmer Cooperative, said. “Our program provides farmers with the competitive edge needed to grow their sustainability efforts. We look forward to continuing to expand our efforts and support many more farmers.”

Webinar registration: Those interested in attending the webinar can register online. Farmers interested in enrolling in the FSF Climate-Smart Program should send an email to climate-smart@voiceofmilk.com. More information can be found on the Farmers for Sustainable Food website.

Farmer-driven project opportunities open up through USDA climate-smart grant

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Farmers throughout the Upper Midwest will have an opportunity to participate in a multi-year climate-smart sustainability program that uses data to inform new farming practices and potentially generate added value for the food the farms produce.

Edge Dairy Farmer Cooperative and partner Farmers for Sustainable Food announced that the groups today will begin accepting farmer enrollment in the program, called the Farmers for Sustainable Food Climate-Smart Project. The announcement comes at the culmination of recent on-farm pilot testing of the program and after years of the organizations helping farmers successfully establish on-farm environmental sustainability projects and working collectively in local farmer-led watershed conservation groups.

Projects in the program, with initial funding from a U.S. Department of Agriculture Partnerships for Climate-Smart Commodities grant, are grounded in FSF’s Framework for Farm-Level Sustainability Projects, a nationally recognized, proven model. The grant will allow for farmers to receive a stipend as an added incentive.

“We are excited to present this opportunity to more farmers and organizations as we continue to roll out our sustainability efforts,” Tim Trotter, CEO of Edge Dairy Farmer Cooperative, said. “We have developed a program we believe gives our farmers a competitive advantage. Much like the work we have accomplished over the years with farmer-led conservation groups, this program is farmer-driven. That is so very important.”

Farmers can enroll in the FSF program through one of three channels:

  • Member of Edge Dairy Farmer Cooperative
  • Membership in a local farmer-led watershed group that participates in FSF
  • Dairy processor or another organization-led project

Financial compensation is based on the farm’s participation level:

  • Contributor: Participants complete a simple greenhouse gas and carbon assessment based on current on-farm practices. No additional requirements. Contributors receive $1,500 per year of participation.
  • Cultivator: Participants take a deeper dive into their farm data through more in-depth assessments of farming practices using tools such as the Fieldprint Platform, COMET-Farm or other approved assessment tools. Cultivators receive an additional $3,000 for a total of $4,500 per year.
  • Collaborator: Farmers who help connect the supply chain by sharing data with downstream partners, such as processors, to help generate added value for commodities. Collaborators receive an additional $4,500 for a total of $9,000 per year.

Two pilot projects in the program were launched earlier this year. The first farmer payment was issued last month.

“Our programs differentiate from many others because we are not requiring farmers to implement any specific practices,” Lauren Brey, FSF’s managing director, said. “Rather, we let the farmers determine the critical environmental concerns in their area and then, by using technical tools and resources available through our program, they can evaluate the impact their changes are making. Our program goal is to help farmers learn to use tools to make management decisions that are right for their farm when incorporating new sustainability practices.”

FSF is partnering with Houston Engineering Inc. to provide technical data assistance to farmers.

Brey said the program takes farmer involvement to the next level by incorporating other entities in the supply chain, including dairy processors. Those processors have the opportunity to spearhead projects through the program. Likewise, FSF and Edge will support farmers in sharing their outcomes with processors to help realize value at the end-user stage.

“We are fortunate to have an established membership and board of directors, from across the value chain, already engaged with FSF since our inception in 2016,” Brey said. “These individuals have been instrumental in developing this program to ensure that the work being done on the farm has value downstream in the supply chain. We see this as a true added value to those who enroll in our program.”

Trotter said he is encouraged by the initial interest and participation in the program.

“This is another leg of our progressive, impactful and measurable sustainability journey,” he said. “We look forward to continuing to expand our work in this important area.”

Enrollment: Farmers interested in enrolling should send an email to climate-smart@voiceofmilk.com. An informational webinar will be held March 12 to provide more details.

Brey will be participating in a panel discussion at the Central Plains Dairy Expo on March 20 to discuss how farmers can begin monetizing their sustainability efforts.
