S4E28: "LandFlex Phase II: Updates and Challenges" | Anja Raudabaugh Summary: On this podcast episode of "Seen and Herd," Allison Tristao interviews Anja Raudabaugh, CEO at Western United Dairies. They discuss the LandFlex program, an agriculture financing option for farmers.  The LandFlex program offers financial products and services tailored to farmers' needs, including purchasing real estate, making improvements to dairy operations, or leasing equipment. Anja shares updates on LandFlex’s Phase II, focusing on four Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSAs) qualified for the program.  The applications received for Phase II were competitive, with unique approaches to protecting underground water, including prioritizing areas with heavy subsidence and areas with existing recharge. Other components of the LandFlex program, such as fallowing and transitioning away from overdrafts and the challenges farmers face in deciding to participate.  Western United Dairies invites all listeners for a roundtable discussion and feedback from farmers to improve the Land Flex program in the future.  Please subscribe for notifications of future episodes.
