Soil fertility: Less may be more During High Prices

By Monica Jean

The Michigan State University Extension Field Crops Webinar Series on March 7, 2022, will feature Purdue University’s Jim Camberato and MSU’s Kurt Steinke as they discuss considerations to fine tune nutrient management strategies and reduce costs while still providing sufficient nutrients for a productive growing season. With fertilizer prices high and supplies questionable, now may be the time to review soil test results to consider whether reducing or eliminating nutrient applications may be a possibility for the coming growing season.

Field crop producers, consultants and agribusiness professionals are invited to participate in the Field Crops Webinar Series 2022, a series of eight online programs addressing field crop production and pest management offered by Michigan State University Extension. The theme for this year's series is Two for the Price of One: Conversations in Row Crop Agriculture. Participants will be able to access the expertise of agriculture specialists and educators from the comfort of their home or office.

Each session will feature two speakers giving short presentations and discussing different aspects of the topic in an informal talk show/podcast format with plenty of opportunity for interaction with the audience. Participants will hear how to enhance their corn, soybean and forage production systems in the coming season and have an opportunity to ask questions of agricultural experts.
