In this episode, we welcome back our returning guest, Megan Solland Conservation Agronomist with Nexus. We’re also thrilled to have Joel Wipperfurth from TruTerra. Joel will share his role at TruTerra and his extensive work history in the industry.

We’ll dive deep into the Carbon Intensity Score (CI), exploring what it is, why it’s been a hot topic in 2024, and which industry is driving this conversation. Joel will explain how farmers can profit from their CI scores.

Additionally, we’ll touch on Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and its connection to CI, the type of data needed, and the expected time frame for these initiatives. Joel and Megan will also give us a sneak peek into what’s new for TruTerra in 2025, including their latest programs and other local initiatives.
