Regenerative Farming Pays Off: Tested and Proven ROI on 5,200 acres.

Farming today comes with a set of relentless challenges: rising input costs, unpredictable weather, and declining prices. At Vayda, we understand this because we live it. We’re farmers first, and our commitment to regenerative agriculture isn’t just theory—it’s practice, tested on more than 5,200 acres of our Mississippi and Arkansas farms.

The proof? We’ve faced the same struggles on our farms—volatile markets, increasing fertilizer prices, and a constant battle against unpredictable weather. But through regenerative practices, we’ve seen remarkable results.
Our fields are producing more with less input and the proof is in the numbers: We’ve reduced our input costs by more than 50% per bushel while boosting yields.

We're excited by what we're seeing in our soybean and corn fields, and we are here to share our learnings.

Our Soil+ Program includes three modules tailored for each one of your fields:

01

Cover Crops

Cover crops provide constant cover and living roots year-round, increasing biomass accumulation. This helps reduce the need for inputs like irrigation and protects against erosion.

  • Savings on irrigation
  • Increased infiltration and decreased runoff
  • Decreased wind erosion
  • Thriving soil microbial community
Key results
7-10%
more moisture retention
68%
increased water infiltration
Improvements in Moisture Content and Water Infiltration
Areas without Cover Crops
Areas with Cover Crops
02

Reduced Tillage

Minimizing tillage helps protect your soil’s structure, supports root growth, and reduces input costs, all while improving crop health.

  • Reduced fuel usage
  • Preserved soil structure
  • Improved water absorption
  • Time and labor costs savings

Nutrient Management

Maximize efficiency and reduce waste with a precision-driven nutrient management plan that works in harmony with regenerative practices. By improving the natural cycling of nutrients in your soil, you can cut costs without sacrificing yield.

  • Optimized fertilizer use
  • Enhanced nutrient cycling
  • Lower input costs
  • Improved soil health
