SIU AG Field Day Tour
The Illinois Nutrient Research and Education Council provides funds to Illinois universities to perform soil nutrient management and research for agriculture.
During the SIU Ag Field Day last week, the Illinois Nutrient Research and Education Council saw the results of the soil and water quality research they funded at SIU Carbondale.
N-REC has funded over one million dollars in research projects at SIU in the last year.
One of those projects that’s on-going is on gypsum, a fertilizer that supplies calcium and sulfur to crops and improves soil to reduce water runoff.
Illinois N-REC Association Chairman Jeff Kirwan says the research they finance helps farmers and the environment.

A Cover Crop Decision Support Tool was demonstrated during an April 1 webinar. The tool is designed to help Illinois growers manage cover crops in their fields. The version demonstrated last week is the first version of the tool and developers welcome ideas for improvement. We obviously have a whole lot of ideas and we welcome more feedback and ideas on how we can improve this (and) how we can make this more usable for the farmers, said Jonathan Coppess, an assistant professor and director of the Gardner Agriculture Policy Program at the University of Illinois College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences.
