CTIC Welcomes New Member Organizations

CTIC is proud to welcome four new member organizations to its growing roster of multidisciplinary stakeholders to support our shared mission of supporting farmers in their adoption and expansion of regenerative agricultural practices.

Nuveen Natural Capital, Landoption, Terion AI, and Milborn Seeds have become first-time members of CTIC and are eligible for Board Director positions when the full membership votes in December. Calmer Corn Heads also rejoined CTIC earlier this year. Learn more about our members in our Member Directory.

“A lot of our work helps farmers implement conservation, so CTIC is a great fit for us and another way to showcase the commitment we have to conservation,” says Doug Bastian, Millborn’s sales and portfolio manager for wholesale ag.

Millborn specializes in cover crops, forage mixes, and native grasses that build organic matter, reduce synthetic fertilizer reliance, and prevent erosion. The Brookings, S.D.-based company partners with Ducks Unlimited and other implementing organizations to promote prairie restoration, wetland preservation, and habitat-friendly native grass mixes.

Millborn Seeds covers more than 3 million acres each year with more than 12,000 different species, and it estimates that about 1 million of those acres contribute to regenerative agricultural practices.

CTIC celebrates 45 years in 2027, making it one of the first public-private partnerships solely dedicated to the acceleration of farmer-led, voluntary conservation. CTIC’s 2027 Membership Campaign began in October following a 2026 campain that retained nearly all of its member organizations.
