Corn Program

Legacy Acre Corn Profitability Program

Reduce Inputs.Recover Nutrients.Improve Profit Per Acre.

Legacy Acre works with corn growers to identify opportunities to reduce purchased inputs, improve nutrient efficiency, recover fertility already present in the field, strengthen the biological system and capture additional financial opportunities.

The Legacy Acre Approach

More Than an Input Program

Legacy Acre is a farm profitability platform built around a simple question:

Where can we improve profit per acre without sacrificing farm performance?

Rather than selling a single product, we build a program around the crop, the farm's existing fertility plan, soil conditions, acres, equipment and financial goals.

  1. 01

    Improve Input Efficiency

    Nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and starter strategy

  2. 02

    Build the Root & Biological System

    Root-zone and fungal biology

  3. 03

    Recover Existing Nutrients

    Crop residue and soil fertility

  4. 04

    Reduce Purchased Inputs

    Turn biological efficiency into financial return

Protocols Used in the Corn Program

The Tools Behind the Program

The program tiers aren't simply different quantities of the same product. Each protocol performs a different job in the farm system.

  • A field sprayer applying a foliar pass over a green cropNITRO

    Nitrogen Reduction Protocol

    Use Nitrogen More Efficiently

    NITRO is designed to improve nitrogen efficiency and reduce conventional nitrogen requirements by shifting a portion of fertility into a more plant-available form, applied during periods of high crop demand.

    Typical corn program: 20 gal/ac seasonal program, with final timing customized to the operation.

  • Cut crop rows lying in the field after harvestDecomposer

    Decomposer Protocol

    Turn Crop Residue Into a Fertility Resource

    Decomposer accelerates residue breakdown and supports nutrient recovery from the N, P, K, S, Ca and micronutrients already contained in the previous corn crop.

Financial Programs

Capture Value Beyond the Crop

Input reduction is only one way Legacy Acre works to improve farm profitability.

Through Legacy Acre's financial programs and Newbreak, qualifying farms can also evaluate tax credits, incentive programs and other financial opportunities that may create additional value from work already happening on the farm.

  • R&D Tax Credits

    Identify and document potentially qualifying on-farm experimentation and improvement activities.

  • Financial Incentives

    Evaluate available programs that may support qualifying farm investments and practices.

  • Documentation & Measurement

    Build the field-level records needed to substantiate results and applicable financial programs.

How the Program Works

Let's Build the Numbers for Your Farm

    Review Your Acres

    Crop, fields, rotations and current input program.

  2. Step 2

    Identify the Opportunity

    Nitrogen, phosphorus, starter, residue, root-zone biology and financial programs.

  3. Step 3

    Build Your Farm Program

    Select the right Legacy Acre program and protocols for the fields.

  4. Step 4

    Measure What Happens

    Track planned vs. actual inputs, applications, yield and financial results throughout the season.
