Nutrient Application is BIG Business

Soil health, organic matter, regenerative agriculture, improved water quality and carbon store. Why…we must be talking about our nutrient management superheroes—our 80+ manure applicator teams.

Nutrient application is big business—big equipment, big responsibility and big investments in tractors, equipment, and technology. All in the collective effort on behalf of crop farmers, hog farmers and applicator teams to drive precision application and 4R stewardship of right time, right rate, right amount, and right location.

Here at Iowa Select Farms, we recently gathered our crews to provide company updates, renew applicator certifications, discuss farm biosecurity, and conduct Pumper Portal training. As always, we enjoyed the fellowship and seeing the pride our teams have in their profession.
