Siemer STAR Producer Reward Payment Program
Siemer STAR Producer Reward Payment Program
Siemer Milling Company is committed to connecting growers with opportunities to help preserve their land and legacy. In Summer 2024, Siemer first worked with STAR to identify eligible fields and compensate growers in Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky who implemented conservation practices that result in an improved STAR Rating or an outstanding (5-STAR) Rating. That program is continuing into 2025.
Program Eligibility
Siemer customers’ corn, soybean and wheat fields were eligible to participate. STAR provided each field a confidential rating of 1 to 5 STARs. Growers received a payment for:
- Achieving and maintaining a 5-STAR Rating (the highest rating), OR
- Demonstrating improvement in their initial STAR rating over a two-year period.
HOW it works
To be eligible, a grower had to both submit a Grower Agreement with Siemer Milling Company AND enroll fields with STAR.
Enroll in STAR
Interested producers enrolled using either the STAR Tool or the STAR field form found below.
