“We've gone a step further and said there's demand for regenerative practices. Not only do you have to do paperwork, but you actually need to change your practices as well. That's a much higher lift. And so there's definitely a price premium that we're extending to the producers. Now they're also seeing a shortened life-cycle to reach slaughter weight, so they're actually being more profitable as well. And so there's a lot of benefit at the farm level for implementing these [regenerative] practices from a pure profitability standpoint.“
