In the 5th episode of the Advancing Nitrogen Smart series, we’re talking about the ways the soil stores water, and how nitrogen transforms in that soil under different climate conditions. We’ll discuss field saturation and the water budget, heat units and how to track them, and how these trends have changed throughout MN over the last 60 years. Guests: Daniel Kaiser, Extension nutrient management specialist (St. Paul)Brad Carlson, Extension educator (Mankato)Additional Resources Nitrogen BMPs, MN Dept of AgricultureEcological and Water Resources Mesonet, MN Dept of AgricultureNational Weather Service Temperature and Precipitation Map--- For the latest nutrient management information, subscribe to the Nutrient Management Podcast.
