Nutrient Stewardship Across the Nation

4R STATE EFFORTS

Several states are helping lead the way for

nutrient stewardship by developing

governing methods such as certification

programs, codes of practice and

sustainability programs. State by state, 4R

BMPs are gaining ground in local

communities through demonstration and

outreach efforts.

4R EDUCATION

Industry partners have come together to

help producers learn more about sustainable

farming. These partners have developed

webinars, learning modules and online

interactive training to provide essential

information about the basic components of

soil fertility and nutrient BMPs as they

pertain to implementation of the 4Rs.

4R ADVOCATE

Each year the Nutrient Stewardship 4R

Advocate program recognizes outstanding

agriculture retailers and farmers dedicated to

sustainable crop nutrition. These advocates

travel the country educating local

communities about the 4R principles as well

as promoting the benefits of sustainable

farming to the general public.

Makes nutrients available

when crops need them.

RIGHT TIME

4R Principles of Nutrient Stewardship

The 4Rs—Guided by Science, Proven by Research

The 4R Research Fund was establishedby contributions from fertilizer industry members and stakeholders.

$7,000,000 COMMITMENT

The Research Fund is an industry-funded

effort committing $7 million to 4R research.

A portion of this money has already

been raised and implemented in initial

research projects.

OUR PARTNERS

Over 90 U.S. organizations are embracing 4R nutrient stewardship and are

working to bring you the most current information about fertilizer best

management practices. These partners include conservation groups,

agriculture equipment manufacturers,

agriculture retail companies, fertilizer

companies and other various

agricultural stakeholders.

SUSTAINABILITY

The underlying aim of sustainable agriculture is to increase economically

viable food production while retaining the ecological integrity of food

systems. The fertilizer industry's

engagement with Field to Market

allows us to collaborate with

stakeholders across the

agricultural supply chain.

IMPLEMENTING 4Rs ON THE FARM

4Rs & THE INDUSTRY

STEP 1:

Identify farm-specific economic,

social and environmental goals

that the cropping system

objectives should address.

STEP 2: Select BMPs that are specific to the grower's goals, soil, climate and cropping system.

STEP 3: Integrate BMPs for all goals and adjust as needed.

STEP 4: Document the 4R nutrient stewardship plan.

Reduce lossesof nutrients tothe environment.

Improve the quality offarm family housing,diet and education.

Improve net farmincome and regionaleconomic development.

Although goals will vary among farm operations and even among fields, the following are commonly identifiedgrower goals:
