Agren, Land O’Lakes partner for precision conservation

Central Iowa-based small business, Agren has partnered with Land O’Lakes to use emerging precision conservation technology in effort to help farmers improve soil and water quality.

The Land O’Lakes SUSTAIN business unit will use Agren’s technology platform to deliver scalable, geo-spatial tools that are designed to identify highly-erodible spots in a farmer’s field and plan in-field best practices to protect soils from erosion and improve water quality, according to Agren. Branded as SoilVantage, Land O’Lakes SUSTAIN will be the first to deliver precision conservation tools and services to farmers across the U.S., according to Land O’Lakes.

Agren is a provider of sustainability solutions to agriculture. The company is part of Central Iowa’s Cultivation Corridor, an initiative led by public and private partners focused on supporting and sustaining the science that feeds the world.
