CTIC News
| Twenty organizations contributed to the 2025 milestone. Now in its 43rd year, CTIC is proud to welcome 12 new corporate members to our growing coalition of leading organizations and changemakers. They join CTIC’s coalition of 50+ member organizations, partners, and individuals who are working toward our shared mission to accelerate the adoption of conservation management practices across America’s farmlands. CTIC’s new members — and existing members who upgraded their membership — doubled their impact this year thanks to the generous support from a Walton Family Foundation challenge grant that matched funding up to $50,000.  CTIC’s new members are American Farm Bureau Federation, ARVA, Bayer, Bush’s, Conservation Ag Foundation, Farm Credit Mid-America, Indiana Corn Marketing Council, Indiana Soybean Alliance, Minnesota Agricultural Water Quality Certification Program, Mississippi State University, Strategic Conservation Solutions, The Farm Clinic, and CTIC board member A.J. Kumar, of Indigo Ag. Organizations that upgraded their CTIC membership levels are Ducks Unlimited, Farm Credit Services of America, Indigo Ag, Lessiter Media, National Corn Growers Association, The Fertilizer Institute, The Nature Conservancy, and former CTIC Interim Executive Director David Gustafson. Thank you to all new and existing CTIC members who are supporting American farmers and ranchers in their transition to more sustainable production systems that save and enrich our soils, improve water quality and availability, and enrich habitats and biodiversity. CTIC’s 2025 membership drive ended Sept. 30. You can join our growing membership in 2026 to lead and accelerate conservation agriculture by contacting CTIC Executive Director Ryan Heiniger at heiniger@ctic.org. |
