If there is such a thing as a typical year in the agricultural industry it would run on cycles, pre-planting, planting, pre-harvest and harvest. Each cycle requires meticulous planning and many times this can include nutrient management planning.

When someone makes a nutrient management decision while focusing on an overall 4R strategy, I believe they will be more successful all around.
