Increase your land’s profitability with programs that pay you back for what your land is already doing

See which programs your operation qualifies for.

There's real money on the table for landowners, farmers, and ranchers — through federal programs, tax deductions, and carbon markets. The problem isn't the funding. It's the paperwork, the sampling protocols, and the documentation. EarthOptics handles all of it.

$700M in USDA Regenerative Pilot Program funding

$1,000+ per acre in fertility tax deductions

90% of all U.S. rangeland soil carbon is measured by EarthOptics

See which programs your operation qualifies for.

Three programs. One partner to handle the hard part.

The funding, the deductions, and the carbon revenue are real. Capturing them takes the right soil data, the right documentation, and a partner who's done it before. EarthOptics manages all three programs end-to-end — so you can stay focused on your operation.

USDA Regenerative Pilot Program

Capture your share of $700 million in new USDA funding. Working with trusted partners, we manage your eligibility review, conservation plan, CEMA 216-compliant sampling, and application — start to finish.

Fertility Tax Deductions

Convert your soil fertility data into a CPA-ready tax deduction report. Customers are seeing $1,000+ per acre for cropland and $500+ per acre in fertility deductions for range and grassland, backed by our 180-Guarantee.

Soil Carbon Measurement

Get paid for the carbon already in your soil — and for the carbon you'll add through the practices you're planning. EarthOptics is the most trusted name in soil carbon measurement, with 90% of U.S. rangeland and 60% of U.S. farmland carbon quantification.

We didn't build this infrastructure for routine soil maps.

We built it for programs exactly like these. EarthOptics is an NRCS-qualified individual. Our nationwide dealer network operates under that designation. Our TSP partnerships bring conservation plan drafting right to your operation. And our soil intelligence platform produces the documentation these programs require — at 10x10m resolution, with 90%+ confidence, faster and at lower cost than legacy sampling.

One platform. Three opportunities.

The same soil data that powers your fertility deduction can support your carbon project. The same sampling visit that satisfies CEMA 216 can build your baseline for future carbon revenue. We design measurement programs to enable optionality, not lock you in.

Programs

What it is: A $700M carve-out within EQIP and CSP, paying landowners for conservation practices. Applications approved this fall.

Why most service providers aren't helping: The program requires a certified Technical Service Provider to draft your conservation plan, an NRCS Qualified Individual to do CEMA 216 sampling, and a specific protocol — fertility, carbon, and wet aggregate stability tests, three management zones, five samples per zone, in years one and five.

What we handle:

Eligibility review
Conservation plan drafting (through our TSP partner network)
Application support for EQIP and CSP paperwork
CEMA 216-compliant sampling, years one and five
Full lab analysis and compliance documentation
One point of contact through the program lifecycle

What it is: Multiple sections of the IRS tax code allow producers to deduct certain fertilizer and soil amendment expenses in the year they're applied. With the right agronomic data and documentation, the impact can be substantial.

What customers are seeing:

$1,000+ per acre in cropland fertility deductions, $500+ in rangeland and grassland

Significant immediate tax savings

CPA-ready documentation

Backed by our 180-Guarantee

How it works:

Complete TruNutrient sampling with EarthOptics
We securely share your nutrient data with our reporting partner
A turnkey, CPA-ready report is created on your behalf
You provide the report to your CPA for filing

The 180-Guarantee: If your land does not average at least $40 per acre in benefit from the fertility report, we'll refund the full cost of the report. No risk. Significant upside.

What it is: Soil carbon is a measurable, monetizable asset. Carbon programs pay landowners for the carbon stored in their soil and for additional carbon sequestered through practices like rotational grazing, cover cropping, and reduced tillage.

Why EarthOptics:

60% of all U.S. farmland soil carbon quantification

90% of all U.S. rangeland soil carbon measurements

150M tons of accumulated carbon measured

Operations across 4 continents and 45 U.S. states

Compatible with every major registry and protocol — Verra, Climate Action Reserve, BCarbon, and more

What we deliver: Baseline measurement, ongoing monitoring, mapping, modeling, forecasting, and third-party audit support. We design measurement so you can inset, offset, or shift between programs without doing the work twice.

Built for the operations these programs were designed to reach.

Farmers and Producers

Stack programs: TruNutrient sampling can power Section 180 deductions and feed into carbon baselines in a single visit
Get paid for conservation practices you may already be planning, through the Regenerative Pilot Program
Documentation handled end-to-end, so you stay focused on the crop

Ranchers and Landowners

Monetize the carbon already in your rangeland soil
Build a documented record of soil intelligence that defends ranchland against development pressure
Open new revenue streams without changing how you run your operation

“We didn't have the time or the in-house expertise to navigate the application, the conservation plan, and the sampling protocol on our own. EarthOptics took it off our plate. The funding was real, and so was the documentation.”
