How does the marketing department support agronomy? First-time guest, Lisa King, joins hosts Jeff Jarrett and Sal Sama in the podcast room for this episode of The High Ground powered by Premier Companies. Lisa is in week three of her training as a marketing specialist for Premier Companies and works primarily with the agronomy division.

Lisa will share about her background in marketing and what brought her to Premier Companies. Sal, Jeff, and Lisa will also dig into how the marketing department helps the agronomy department communicate with the growers and learn how the agriculture industry is able to tap into a variety of marketing campaigns to broaden their communication and strengthen relationships. “It doesn’t matter what job you’re in… we’re all in marketing in some capacity.”

Sal and Jeff better straighten up and not do anything dangerous today! Jerry Boger joins hosts Sal Sama and Jeff Jarrett in the podcast room for today’s episode of The High Ground powered by Premier Companies. As you may remember from previous episodes, Jerry is the Environmental Safety Director for Premier Companies.

In addition to discussing the projects they’ve procrastinated, Jerry, Sal, and Jeff will discuss Premier’s commitment to safety and give us an idea of some of the safety initiatives Premier has in place. You’ll learn what makes anhydrous ammonia so dangerous, and Jerry will discuss the yearly safety training that is required for employees and available to emergency responders to help keep the public safe. We’ll also hear about the data plates that will be installed on anhydrous ammonia tanks and the information the data plate will share with the State Chemist for recertification. Anhydrous Ammonia can be very dangerous, but “if you handle it correctly, it’s a really safe product.”

“I think this is one that everybody needs to listen to…” Special guests, Tony Wesner and Stephanie Flinn join hosts Sal Sama and Jeff Jarrett for this episode of The High Ground powered by Premier Companies. As you may remember from previous episodes, Tony is the CEO of Rose Acre Farms and Stephanie Flinn is the Founder of The Maverick Minute and Executive Director of the Schneck Foundation. Tony and Stephanie join us today to highlight the importance of farming safety.

Stephanie shares the tragedy that took place that resulted in the death of two of her family members and ultimately led to "The Maverick Minute” which encourages those in the farm world and beyond to pause what they’re doing, inspect their equipment and surroundings, and protect life. Stephanie and Tony will share how they’re working to get the word out to make The Maverick Minute as recognizable as the pink ribbon for breast cancer. “You could have all the training in the world, but if you don’t take The Maverick Minute, it can all be for naught.”
