Sustaining The Herd
Sustaining the Herd is a resource for all things related to sustainability in animal agriculture. We hope to deliver value to listeners by interviewing industry leaders as well as producers involved in sustainability projects. Every two weeks, we'll give a practical perspective on new technologies as well as new rules and regulations affecting the adoption of sustainability-related technologies such as anaerobic digestion and the production of renewable energy.

Myriah Johnson Joins the Herd
Have you ever wondered how an agricultural lending institution approaches sustainability? Well, if you have, you're in luck! And if you haven't, you're still in for a great episode! Andrew and Brock sit down with Myriah Johnson, who is the VP of Corporate Sustainability with Farm Credit Services of America, Frontier Farm Credit, and Ag Country Farm Credit Services. We dive into how the Farm Credit System differs from other commercial lending institutions and then jump into how Myriah and her team take a customer-driven approach when it comes to matters of sustainability. Andrew and Brock ask about what types of sustainability-related projects might be financed and Myriah offers some examples. Finally, the conversation turns to a critically important (and sometimes overlooked) aspect of sustainability - profitability.
