Siemer Star
Sustainability that Rewards Your bottom line
The Siemer STAR Program is part of the Saving Tomorrow’s Agricultural Resources (STAR) initiative—a farmer-led effort that recognizes and rewards conservation practices proven to protect soil health, improve water quality, and sustain productive farmland for generations to come. By participating, you’re joining a network of growers committed to leaving the land better than they found it. Siemer Star Program is available in all of our Illinois, Kentucky, and Indiana markets.

Participating in the Siemer STAR Program not only supports long-term stewardship—it also pays off in tangible ways:
- Premium Incentives: Earn bonuses up to 25¢ per acre for implementing conservation practices that align with STAR’s proven guidelines.
- Soil Health Improvements: Boost organic matter, reduce erosion, and enhance nutrient efficiency for long-term productivity.
- Market Recognition: Stand out with buyers who value sustainably produced grain.
- Peer Networking: Access a network of conservation-minded farmers and agronomic experts.
