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. I am a firm believer that any nutrient management decision should include a “4R” decision by default. When someone makes a nutrient management decision while focusing on an overall 4R strategy, I believe they will be more successful all around.
The 2018 4R Summit was held in Des Moines in June 2018. With more than 40 speakers, there was a lot of information to take in. However, there were some themes that emerged. Here are our top 10 takeaways:
WASHINGTON, April 4, 2018 – Registration is now open for the 4R Summit, which will be held June 11-12 at the Embassy Suites in downtown Des Moines, Iowa. As the 4R Nutrient Stewardship program continues to grow, the Summit provides opportunities to learn more about the 4Rs and hear how stakeholders across the country are implementing the 4R principles.
It’s official, Spring has sprung! Whether you look out your window and see daffodils in bloom, a couple inches of snow, or farm land welcoming what the coming season will bring, this is the time of year we celebrate National Agriculture Day. From the food on our tables, to the clothes on our backs, all of us very much depend on agriculture’s abundance. Key to our safe, reliable, and more affordable supply of food, fuel, and fiber is fertilizer.
