EP 158: Soil Sampling, TRAX Program, & DIY Projects

What is the TRAX program, and how can that help growers?  Your hosts, Jeff and Sal, are joined in the podcast room by Joe Zimmerman and Glenn Longabaugh for this episode of The High Ground powered by Premier Companies. Joe is the TRAX Agronomy Lead, and Glenn is a frequent guest and the Agronomist for Premier Companies.

On today’s episode, you’ll learn more about Glenn and Joe’s background, education, and career history. You’ll learn about the soil sampling process, the nutrients that are tested, and how the results are analyzed. They’ll also share how the system knows where each sample came from, how that informs the nutrient applications, and how the CropLink platform can provide data from current and previous years to help growers maximize their yield. When it comes to utilizing TRAX and Croplink to make sure growers are planting and fertilizing in the appropriate amounts and locations, perhaps Glenn says it best. “If Joe had more hair, they’d call him Goldilocks. They don’t put on too much, they don’t put on too little, it’s just right.”
