Striking environmental and profit balance
Technology is advancing farmer efforts to balance environmental benefits with profit potential.
Tina May with Land O’Lakes SUSTAIN says their members are taking advantage of partnerships that support precision agriculture.
Recently, the cooperative announced it was collaborating with farm equipment manufacturer AGCO on its RoGator and TerraGator applicators.
“The focus is on precision and versatility of their equipment. And it helps the applicator at that local ag retailer, and that farmer, tackle jobs efficiently and productively while keeping a focus on stewardship.”
She tells Brownfield Land O’Lakes wants to provide the tools needed to build farmer-led stewardship through the company’s North American network of locally owned ag retailers.
“We have another Minnesota ag equipment company that’s focusing on soil health equipment for us, that’s Environmental Tillage Systems through their Soil Warrior focused on strip-till.”
May says La Crosse Seed is another regional partner, helping Land O’Lakes provide cover crop seed and insight to its members.
