The Illinois Council on Best Management Practices has produced a 5 minute video that explains the importance of the new Illinois Nutrient Research & Education Council (NREC) program and how 75 cents on each ton of fertilizer will be used to help us meet the challenge of improving yields and protecting our environment.

 

The video is available at http://www.illinoisnrec.org  We encourage you to promote the program to your customers and feel free to link to this video from your own company website.  The video includes comments from three growers about the leadership role that farmers and crop advisors will have in NREC.  The NREC website also features additional information about the program including the NREC Council members, research priorities and a tri-fold brochure.  If you would also like copies of the brochure for your customers, please contact IFCA and we will send them to you, no charge.
