What’s the difference between sustainability and conservation?  Special guests Sydney Calhoun and Evan Eggersman join hosts Ryan Priest and Sal Sama for this episode of The High Ground powered by Premier Companies.  Sydney is the Trax Conservation Agronomy Lead, and Evan is the Trax Ag Technology and Sustainability Lead for Premier Companies.In addition to learning about the basics of sustainability, you’ll learn how participating in the Trax program can increase the effectiveness of the conservation efforts of the grower.  Evan will explain a bit about the nitrogen management and carbon sequestration programs and how farmers can be rewarded for their participation.  They’ll also share about an exciting partnership between Truterra and the USDA that’s resulted in a program that can pay a grower to participate in the cover crop and no-till conservation efforts for the first time.  If that's not enough, they’ll also touch on the reasons farmers have a love/hate relationship with cover-crops and the way technology can help a farmer collect the data to meet the program requirements.  “We haven’t really had… somebody that can connect some of the government resources and Premier Ag together, and that’s what this whole grant has been about."
