University of Minnesota Extension and the Minnesota Agricultural Water Resource Center’s Nutrient Management Conference brings experts together to focus on nutrient management. Current topics in crop production and environmental stewardship will be relevant and informative for today's agricultural producers and professionals and anyone else who appreciates high-quality, research-based information.
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.
