Southeast Minnesota nitrogen meeting presentations now available online



A daylong meeting held in Rochester in March focused on nitrates and water quality in Southeast Minnesota and management that affects it. Over 100 individuals attended this meeting to learn about how nitrate moves to water, the age of water resources being monitored, recommended practices for commercial fertilizer and manure, and University of Minnesota research that has informed those recommendations.

All of the presentations from that day are available on YouTube at z.umn.edu/nitrogen-SE and below:
