Technological advancement in potato farming drives improvements to the bottom line as well as helps meet that goal of better land stewardship. And no one can explain this better than Jeremie Pavelski, president of Heartland Farms and co-founder of Heartland Ag Tech. He's developed and implemented technology to monitor carbon, rain water, irrigation and nutrient leaching. He says there's room for policy and incentives to make it easier to implement these practices, especially during an expected year of high input costs and a tight labor force. Pavelski also serves on the National Potato Council and the Wisconsin Potato and Vegetable Growers Association. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Farmers, ranchers, and forest owners are on the frontlines of climate change and have an important role to play in developing solutions. That shared understanding led an unprecedented group — representing farmers, forest owners, the food sector, state governments, and environmental advocates — to form the Food and Agriculture Climate Alliance (FACA), of which the National Potato Council is a member. This week, Randy Russell, founder of The Russell Group, which manages the Food and Agriculture Climate Alliance, joins the podcast to talk about how the FACA coalition got started and why it was so important that potato growers have taken a seat at the table.To learn more about FACA, visit agclimatealliance.com.
