Profit.
Managing to maximize return on your
cropping investment (ROI) requires the perfect combination of science, technology, art,
and luck. Some factors, like the weather, still require a bit of luck. Thankfully, science
and technology continue to make strides, reducing the impact of uncontrollable factors
like the weather and markets. This reduces the risk inherent in farming. By using a plan
to analyze the crop nutrient management portion of your production system, you can reduce
risk and, ultimately, maximize profit. |
Environment.
Good nutrient management planning is an integral part of a
system of practices that conserve and enhance natural resources. It reduces production and
environmental risks. The more nutrients your crop converts to grain or fiber, the less
opportunity for nutrients to reach streams, lakes or groundwater. And, if youre like
most farmers in the United States, youre proud of your abilities to protect the
environment. By tightening up the nutrient-crop conversion rate even more, youll
continue to prove farmers are environmentalists.
