The Siemer Milling Company Producer Rewards Payment Program uses the STAR Rating to compensate farmers for improved or outstanding (5-STAR) STAR Rating, thereby recognizing a range of conservation efforts rather than requiring specific practices. This flexibility allows farmers to choose the conservation approaches that best fit their operation while still being rewarded for their commitment to soil health and sustainability. This program will be offered from 2025-2027 with guaranteed backing, for more information visit STARConservation.org/producer-rewards/siemer.

Payments for 2/3/4 STAR Ratings are received during the second year of enrollment when improvement is documented, not during the first year of data collection. Payment for 5 STAR ratings can be received year after year.
