University of Minnesota Extension and the Minnesota Agricultural Water Resource Center’s Nitrogen Conference brings experts together to focus on this valuable input.
Agricultural producers and professionals benefit from the latest research and information about crop production and environmental stewardship.
The conference takes place annually in February. Certified crop advisers (CCA) can earn continuing education credits (CEUs) in soil and water and nutrient management by attending the conference.
