4R Plus practices are more effective when they are targeted in areas with the greatest runoff, nutrient loss and soil loss. No farm is the same, so talk to your crop adviser, conservation district or NRCS expert about the 4R Plus practices that are best for your acres.

"Nutrient stewardship continues to evolve, to include not only in-field practices, but also edge-of-field practices (bioreactors, saturated buffers), and conservation efforts that don’t fall under the strict definition of the 4Rs..." https://t.co/LP3m1A1row
