WHAT IS PACE?

PACE is a program for corn farmers who want to be more strategic with how they apply nitrogen. It offers extra insurance if a farmer plans to apply nitrogen in two steps but can't finish the second step because of adverse weather. This allows farmers to try split-applying nitrogen to get better results, reduce runoff, and make the most of their money.

“I planned to split-apply nitrogen to make the most of my input dollars and reduce runoff, but spring rains kept me out of the field. Luckily, I had PACE coverage. It helped cover the loss and gave me confidence to keep using better nutrient management practices.”
