16 | SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2025 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2025 | 17 2025 marked the first official year of our redesigned grower incentive program, Partnerships for Resilient Agriculture (PFRA). We had 17 growers enrolled for our 2025 growing season, up from 8 in 2024. These growers engaged with a variety of soil health and biodiversity focused practices including cover crops, buffer strips, integrated grazing, reduced tillage, and variable rate fertilizer application. We streamlined our program structure in 2025 to improve grower satisfaction and the longevity of practice adoption based on feedback from participating producers. PFRA has evolved from a pay-by-practice model to a tier-based payment system that now includes both required and optional practices, with additional financial incentives available. Build SOIL HEALTH, BIODIVERSITY, AND RESILIENCE ON FARM C O M M I T M E N T 2 G OA L 1 DEPLOY OUR NEW GROWER INCENTIVE PROGRAM - PARTNERSHIPS FOR RESILIENT AGRICULTURE OUR GROWER INCENTIVE PROGRAM Designed by our Climate Agriculture Team, PFRA provides financial and technical support to enrolled producers for soil health and biodiversity forward practices. PFRA is managed by our Crop Science and Sustainability teams, and grower payments are funded by interested customers. PFRA aims to facilitate meaningful partnerships between our customers, growers, and local soil health organizations, ultimately creating a web of regenerative agriculture support and action that creates lasting impact. MORE THAN A CARBON PROGRAM PFRA was designed to be an environmental and soil health impact program rather than a carbon abatement program. The agronomic and cultural practices incentivized by PFRA naturally support carbon sequestration on farms. It is important to Grain Millers that practice impacts extend beyond carbon alone to create tangible benefits that our producers can see and feel on their farms. BUILDING PRODUCER RESILIENCE To be resilient is to be able to withstand growing climate pressures, cost fluctuations, crop failures, along with many other difficulties as farmers. Without resilience, we lack longevity and our impact is limited. Through PFRA we aim to build a truly resilient framework for agriculture and the formation of cross sector partnerships. The 2025 PFRA cohort gathers for an end of season appreciation lunch and cover crop presentation with Imperial Seeds.
