Committed to engaging in 4R Nutrient Management and Sustainable Farming Practices with grower customers.

“The program recognizes Crop Specialists within our system that help engage growers in sustainable best management practices on their farming operations,” says Lance Ruppert, GROWMARK Agronomy Executive Director of Marketing and Technology. “These best management practices include helping growers implement the 4R nutrient stewardship principles, assist growers with nitrogen management, promote nitrogen stabilizers, implement nitrogen tracking, the use of MiField Applied Research, and the use of variable rate technology for fertilizer applications.” 

The 4R philosophy takes a science-based approach that offers enhanced environmental protection, increased production, increased farmer profitability, and improved sustainability. The concept is to use the right fertilizer source, at the right rate, at the right time, with the right placement.
