Keep it For the Crop Program

KIC by 2025.  You have, and will be hearing a lot about this program.  In fact next week, we will be sending a KIC poster to our ag retail members asking for your cooperation to post this document in your office; it contains key best management practices for fall fertilizer application.  The University of Illinois has also provided a new fall fertilizer guidance document, which is posted on the IFCA homepage at www.ifca.com.  Illinois agriculture is up to the task of responding to threats of regulation with examples of how we can manage our nutrient programs to ensure that we "Keep it for the Crop."  Doing so will only enhance profitability for the ag sector and at the same time protect water quality from nutrient impairment.  Thanks in advance to everyone in our industry who will do their best to promote nutrient stewardship practices.
