Limiting Nitrogen Pollution on your Farm

This episode I talk to Dru Yates of ES Crop Consult. Getting the right amount of nitrogen to our crops at the right time can be tricky, and if we over-apply it, it doesn’t just hurt our bottom line. Nutrient pollution contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and pollutes our water, and so I invited Drew to join me to help us understand how to find the right balance between meeting a crop’s nitrogen needs and our collective responsibility to avoid nitrogen pollution of our air and water.

Here’s a link to the BC Ministry of Agriculture & Food’s dedicated web page for nutrient management…lots of useful info and tools here.
