Conservation Connector Continues Its Engagement with Farmers and Stakeholders

Following the successful launch of Connector.ag to farmers, ranchers, advisers, and stakeholders at the Farm Progress Show in August, CTIC continues its industry outreach to organizations that will help the platform gain traction. CTIC Executive Director Ryan Heiniger (above during the Farm4Profit Podcast during Farm Progress) presented the platform during an America’s Watershed Initiative webinar this month, and also presented to CropLife America’s Sustainability Committee.

Connector.ag features a searchable directory that allows users to filter conservation programs by crop type, conservation practice, and geographic region, offering a customized experience that matches producers with programs that fit their operation so they can optimize profitability on every acre. It is the only database that aligns programs with technical assistance so farmers can find the support they might need to be successful with management changes. Service providers can create a free listing for their services and technical assistance any time by logging into Connector.ag.

By providing transparent access to incentive opportunities and direct contact with local support, Connector.ag aims to be a trusted, one-stop shop for producers looking to implement or expand farming practices that improve or conserve soil, water, habitat, and other on-farm natural resources.

CTIC invites farmers, ranchers, technical service providers, and conservation partners across the country to explore the platform and provide feedback about your experience to help inform future iterations of the platform.
