Have you ever wished your fields came with a report card? They can. As you’ll hear on today’s episode of The High Ground, hosted by Sal Sama and Ryan Priest and powered by Premier Companies, technology and farming go hand in hand. As the TRAX Ag Technology and Sustainability Lead, Braden Carpenter knows this well and is involved with the precision offerings at Premier Companies. He works to keep Premier Companies on the cutting edge of new technology and sustainability practices and to help growers shift into the new age of agriculture and show how they farm.
Braden, Sal, and Ryan dive into what’s taking place at the machine level in the cab, what’s happening in the system as the machines go around the field, and how to utilize that data to make the best decisions to get the highest yield for the lowest cost. Braden covers how the data points they’re collecting and information from Truterra, the sustainability business of Land O’Lakes, can help a farmer make wise decisions from a sustainability standpoint to ensure the longevity of their business. They want to “start to bridge the communication gap of what the everyday person in the grocery store thinks agriculture is and what our customers, our farmer-owners, know agriculture to be and what their dads and their granddads knew it to be… and how they are adapting.”
