Key Points of Differentiation for Farmers
Beyond Cost Share
Farmers want to be good stewards of the land, but agricultural conservation has not always been rewarded with appropriate financial incentives. We provide payments to farmers and landowners that go well beyond the scale of existing public or private incentive programs.
Farmer Focused
Our mission is to build environmental and economic sustainability in agriculture. As a subsidiary of the Iowa Soybean Association, SWOF is governed by a board of farmers. We don’t sell a product, input, or service that farmers don’t need, can’t pay for, or isn’t proven.
Stacking Benefits
The benefits of agricultural conservation extend well beyond the farm. By leveraging markets for ecosystem services like carbon, water, and biodiversity. We create significant farmer value by combining multiple positive environmental outcomes into a single transaction.

About the Soil and Water Outcomes Fund
The Soil and Water Outcomes Fund provides financial incentives directly to farmers who begin or expand on-farm conservation practices that yield positive environmental outcomes such as carbon sequestration, emission reductions and water quality improvement. We provide new market opportunities and revenue streams for farmers through partnerships with public and private organizations.
As an inset program, we help our partners invest in the resiliency of their supply chain and achieve sustainability goals, such as scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions.
We utilize an outcomes-based approach to reduce risk and increase cost efficiency for our partners and stack together the multiple environmental outcomes from agricultural practices to deliver substantial per-acre payments to farmers.
