Farmers and agribusinesses know the key to obtaining increased yields and profitability start with good soil fertility and a sound nutrient management plan. Join Michigan State University Extension for a Soil Fertility and Nutrient Management Training on February 5, 2026.
The event serves as a follow-up and expansion of the Soil Fertility and Nutrient Management Training held in 2024. That training featured Kurt Steinke, MSU Soil Fertility Specialist, with a team of MSU Extension Educators and focused on building a base level of information on nutrient management basics.
Joined by a team of speakers from MSU Extension, Steinke returns to headline the 2026 program. The workshop will offer intermediate and technical level information beneficial to farmers and agribusiness professionals who offer crop nutrient advice.
Description of individual sessions
- Nitrogen – Unpredictable is one word that describes both nitrogen and the weather. In this session, learn about strategies to implement and concerns to address with the uncertainties of nitrogen.
- Nutrient Interactions – Learn how nutrient interactions influence crop uptake and what that means for your farm.
