Abstract

Today on the Advancing Nitrogen Smart Podcast we discuss nitrogen fertilizer management and surface water issues. When did we first become aware of nitrates appearing in surface water? What are some of the effects, and who is being affected? What are Minnesota's current nitrate-reduction strategy benchmarks - and are we on target to meet them? What are some of the challenges and success stories Minnesotans should know about? Which organizations can I contact if I'd like to become more involved? Additional resources: MPCA Nutrient Reduction Strategy (https://www.pca.state.mn.us/air-water-land-climate/reducing-nutrients-in-waters); Nitrogen Best Management Practices (BMPs) (https://www.mda.state.mn.us/pesticide-fertilizer/nitrogen-fertilizer-bmps-agricultural-lands) HUC-8 Watersheds (https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/whaf/key-concepts/ws_def.html); Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCDs) in Minnesota (https://bwsr.state.mn.us/soil-water-conservation-districts)
