CHS announces new partners in its LIFT program for ag retailers

CHS Agronomy, joined by two new and six returning partners, continue the Leaders in Farming Technology (LIFT) program for a fifth year. Together, these nine agricultural companies will deliver even more solutions for retailers in areas such as adjuvants, crop nutrients, crop protection, fertilizer and seed treatments.

"CHS Agronomy is dedicated to providing trusted, agronomically sound information to help retailers build and differentiate their business and provide the best solutions for growers," said Jesse Cler, marketing communications manager for CHS Agronomy. "Alongside our valued partners, we're able to deliver the tools, solutions and resources retailers can use to improve their operations. Our partnership delivers the agronomic knowledge and expertise of nine leading ag companies."

Through a variety of channels like LIFT Academy, the In The Furrow blog and the LIFT eNewsletter, new LIFT partners Syngenta and UPL, along with returning partners Valent, BASF Agricultural Solutions, Corteva Agriscience, FMC, Nufarm and Vive Crop Protection will contribute agronomic content in the form of courses, blogs and other support materials.

Courses offered through the LIFT Academy on-demand provide retailers with no cost continuing education unit (CEU) credits. Other agronomically-focused training resources include videos, agronomy updates, white papers and product support materials. Agronomic blogs and twice monthly newsletter are available at InTheFurrow.com.

"LIFT couldn't be possible without the support from our partners," says Cler. "We're looking forward to fulfilling the training and professional development needs of retailers in 2021."
