Star of the West Milling Company has launched its 2026 Sustainable Tracking of Agronomic Resources (STAR) program, incorporating Ostara’s CG P2X™ fertilizer to help farmers deliver measurable sustainability outcomes while meeting growing demand from food companies for supply chain transparency. The program focuses on the Great Lakes Grain Initiative and is supported through the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service’s Advancing Markets for Producers (AMP) grant.
The STAR program enables Star of the West to provide downstream food companies with credible data on supply chain impacts, helping meet increasing sustainability reporting requirements. It is designed to create value for farmers who adopt or expand sustainability practices when supplying wheat, dry beans or food grade soybeans.
By integrating Ostara’s CG P2X fertilizer, which releases nutrients in response to crop demand, the program aims to reduce environmental impact while maintaining yields. For more details, view the full announcement here.
