Had a great time at the Decatur County Corn Production meeting this afternoon with @CropSoilUGA soil fertility specialist Dr. Glen Harris. Good people, great food, and an opportunity for me to get to a county I hadn’t been to yet. #MeetingSeason #CornProduction #Extension

[The Informed Agronomist @InformAgronomy]

@CoverCropDr speaking to farmers in Lexington, IL today. Discussing how cover crops can help meet the goals of the Illinois Nutrient Loss Reduction Strategy and how to manage them to maintain productivity. @IllinoisNrec @PurdueAgronomy @ILFERTCHEM @ILFarmBureau @ilcorn

[The Informed Agronomist @InformAgronomy]

@DrRichardRoth and @CoverCropDr speaking to a group of farmers outside Champaign, IL today about next generation cover crop management. Takeaway: Be cautious when planting corn after cereal rye and consider adaptive N strategies to overcome potential yield losses. #covercrops

Very impactful work from @CoverCropDr at @PurdueAgronomy demonstrating how cover crops could help us reach nutrient loss reduction goals in the Midwest. #covercrops #waterquality @IllinoisNrec @USDA_NRCS @INCornFarmers

[MNSoilHealth @MnSoil]

Shalamar Armstrong from @PurdueExtension shows great evidence that #covercrops reduced soil N both at the plot and watershed scale. Note that only 50% of the watershed was cover cropped, in IL.

[Corey Lacey @AgScienceGuy]

Great talk!

Postdoctoral Researcher opportunity in Soil C and N at University of Illinois #academicjobs

[Andrew Margenot @ajmargenot]

Postdoc opening at the NSF-USDA AIFARMS @DigitalAgUIUC: quantifying C and N fluxes and balances in tile-drained systems. Position through @UChicago with Prof. Guha in conjunction with @argonne and hosted 9/12 months with our group at @Illinois_Alma

[Josh McGrath @NPK_Professor]

@InformAgronomy @Sadeghpour_NPK Spot on! Use the tools we have to balance multiple competing objectives (e.g. yield, environment, profitability). Averages provide starting point but we should shoot for field or subfield precision to meet environmental objectives. #NRECLive
