Every field tells a story. 🌱 Progress is picking up across the U.S. According to the latest USDA Crop Progress Report, 76% of corn and 67% of soybeans acres have been planted nationwide, with 39% of corn and 32% of soybeans emerged. In Lancaster, Ohio, Bryan Randall, Sr. Agronomy Lead at Indigo, takes a closer look at emergence challenges caused by dry conditions, crusting, and planting depth and why patience can sometimes be the best management decision. Even under tough conditions, there’s still energy in the seed. With moisture and heat on the way, this crop still has a chance to push through. 🎥 Watch Bryan’s latest field update from the field. #Plant2026 #Plant26 #Agronomy #Emergence #CropConditions

Leigh Cooper Swisher and I are heading to Minneapolis next week for Innovation Forum's Future of Food and Beverage Forum USA! At Indigo we spend a lot of time thinking about how to make regenerative transitions operationally scalable. I'm excited to connect with leaders across the food, beverage and ag sectors on collective action opportunities to address shared environmental risks at a landscape-level scale.

We are grateful for the leadership the Soil Health Institute has played in advancing practical, science-based information and guidance on building soil health. Together, we collaborated on research published in the journal Soil Security, contributing to the field of soil measurement and analysis and we've partnered to support long-term research trials on the impact of regenerative agriculture on soil health. 🌱 We are also proud to have Dr. Cristine Morgan, SHI's Chief Scientific Officer, as a valued member of Indigo's Strategic Advisory Board. We are deeply aligned and supportive of their mission. We congratulate Ashley R. McKeon on her appointment as SHI's next President and CEO and look forward to continuing this important work together! 🎉

30 days after planting and the M46 difference is already clear. 🌱 Last week in Breese, IL - Bryan Randall, Sr. Agronomy Lead, and Chris Kane, Key Account Manager, scouted silage corn treated with biotrinsic® M46 just one month after planting. From enhanced biomass to nice nodal root development, the treated plants were showing impressive early vigor above and below ground. Healthy roots are the foundation for a strong season ahead. 🌽 #Biostimulants #Biologicals #Corn #Agronomy #RootsMatter #biotrinsic

Cold. Wet. Even frost. ❄️ An ideal situation to see how biotrinsic® PathoShield™ carries its weight. Bryan Randall, Sr. Agronomy Lead at Indigo, was in the field last week near Washington Court House, OH tracking soybean performance after a stretch of cold, wet, and frosty weather. The result? Soybeans treated with PathoShield™ are still emerging and showing strong root health despite the challenging early-season conditions. After weeks of cold temperatures, saturated soils, and a late frost, treated soybeans are still emerging with: 🌱 Healthy root development 🌱 Strong early growth 🌱 Continued emergence even in saturated areas of the field "Never underestimate the plant’s ability to compensate." Soybeans have remarkable plasticity — and PathoShield™ helps give crops the extra boost they need when conditions turn tough. Because strong starts matter: https://hubs.li/Q04gFQWR0 #Plant2026 #Biologicals #Soybeans #Corn #biotrinsic #Emergence #PathoShield

Last week in Rio Verde, Goiás, Indigo Ag brought together producers and partners focused on the future of regenerative agriculture in Brazil. The conversations were practical, grounded, and optimistic, centered on what’s already working in the field today. From soil health and biologicals to crop integration and long-term resilience, highlighting how regenerative practices are evolving through collaboration and real-world experience. As Guilherme Raucci, Sr. Manager, Business Development at Indigo, shared after the event: “We gathered in Rio Verde, Goiás, with producers and partners from our regenerative agriculture program to listen, learn, and discuss firsthand the challenges, opportunities, and practices already being adopted in the field. No-till farming, cover crops, crop integration, organic compost, biologicals, an economically driven mindset aligned with market demand, and a long-term vision of building soil health for greater system resilience. These are not future ambitions. They are already happening. Tropical agriculture is multidisciplinary, and there is no single solution for more regenerative models. Progress depends on the collaboration between producers, industry, and science, each bringing a different piece of the puzzle. Days like this remind us how much we can achieve when we build this journey together.” 📸 Guilherme Raucci, Ryan Jones, A.J.

Our Staff Data Scientist, Brian Segal, was recently featured in FoodNavigator-USA for his commentary on how Indigo is helping decarbonize the rice sector during DC Climate Week. Featured alongside Richard Waite of World Resources Institute, Brian explained how Indigo uses tiered financial incentives and rigorous MRV to support corporate Scope 3 goals and the profitability of rice farmers in the U.S. and Brazil. By highlighting specific outcomes of our rice programs (e.g., in the US Mid-South region, Indigo’s rice program has reduced 4,000 tons of methane (113,000 tCO2e) in 2024 compared to historical baselines, and the conservation of 33 billion gallons of water), he demonstrated that methane's short-term atmospheric potency makes regenerative rice cultivation an important emergency brake for climate change. And food brands like Indigo program partners Walmart and Kellanova are investing in regenerative rice to build agricultural resiliency, safeguarding the security of their supply while acting as stewards of essential natural resources. 📗Read the full feature by Elizabeth Crawford to see how we’re decarbonizing the dinner plate: https://hubs.li/Q04gkv_W0

SOLD OUT: Startup Resilience in Climate Tech: Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face 👊 Looks like it will be a packed house for tomorrow evening with TEDxHarvard Square. We're excited to host founders, operators, and investors for a candid evening conversation on what it really takes to navigate setbacks and build lasting companies in this space. 🧭

Regenerative agriculture is delivering measurable impact in cotton production, and collaboration across the value chain is helping make it possible. We’re proud to work together with Better Cotton Initiative on the success of its U.S. pilot project and support the growers leading the way in adopting regenerative practices that support soil health, resilience, and long-term farm viability. As Leigh Cooper Swisher, Director of Sustainability Solutions at Indigo Ag, shared in the article, this work demonstrates the power of aligning sustainability outcomes with practical solutions for farmers. Congratulations to Better Cotton Initiative and all the producers advancing this important work for the future of cotton. 👏🌱 📗Read more: https://hubs.li/Q04fRbHY0 #RegenerativeAgriculture #Cotton #Sustainability
