2026 Cover Crop Coupon Now Live


By  • July 16, 2026

IL Corn remains committed to advancing sustainable farming practices across Illinois. In partnership with seed suppliers and application providers, the organization continues to offer the Cover Crop Coupon Program, helping make cover crop seed and application more affordable and accessible for farmers throughout the state.


New for 2026, the program includes several new participating companies, giving farmers more options when selecting cover crop seed and services. In addition, new companies are offering discounts specifically on cover crop application, helping reduce another barrier for farmers looking to add conservation practices to their operations.


The program has helped thousands of Illinois farmers try cover crops for the first time, expand their conservation acres, and invest in long-term soil health.


"The coupon program made it easy to justify trying cover crops on more of my ground. Cutting the upfront seed cost meant I could scale up without the financial risk holding me back," says Evan Marr, an Illinois farmer who has used the program to grow his conservation acres.


As agriculture continues moving toward a more sustainable future, practices that support soil health and environmental stewardship are more important than ever. Through programs like IL Corn's Cover Crop Coupon, farmers across the state are empowered to adopt conservation practices that build healthier, more resilient farms.
