The Flag the Technology Program is ongoing, according to Gina Long of the Warren Henderson Farm Bureau.
Long says the flags, “mark the traits that their [farmers] fields represent” with types consisting of conventional, liberty, round up, extend, and a new flag, enlist.
Long tells us the purpose of the Flag the Technology Program
“This is a program that we do as another way for farmers to communicate and use this as a tool to be in contact with their neighbors, so their neighbors are aware of what they have in their field. Like we said, we hope it sparks communication and can be something that’s useful for farmers.”
The Warren Henderson Farm Bureau has given close to a thousand flags since the program started.
