2018 Nutrient Management Initiative Results

Document
Description
Since the program started in 2006, the Minnesota Department of Agriculture's (MDA) Nutrient Management Initiative (NMI) has helped hundreds of farmers and crop advisers evaluate nutrient management decisions using actual field conditions. On-farm trials are helping farmers fine-tune their nitrogen (N) management practices under their unique field conditions and cultural practices. The NMI program provides an incentive payment for farmers and crop advisers to support on-farm trials targeting nitrogen rate and other practices such as N application timing, N stabilizer, manure credits, alfalfa credits, cover crops and N source evaluations. Farmers are encouraged to team up with a crop adviser who assists with the validation of cropping and harvest information.
