Nominations For The 4R Advocate Program Due October 31
October 24, 2016 Nominations for the 4R Advocate program are due to The Fertilizer Institute by October 31, 2016. The program recognizes agricultural retailers and agricultural producers that are leading the way when it comes to implementing 4R nutrient stewardship on the farm.
“While the 4Rs are a set of principles that can vary by cropping system, our 4R Advocates showcase how these principles are applied in the field by working farmers and agronomists,” said Lara Moody, Senior Manager of Stewardship and Sustainability at The Fertilizer Institute. “Our excellent group of advocates serve as living models for farmers around the country looking to add 4R practices to their production operations.”
Now in its sixth year, the 4R Advocate Program has recognized 25 agricultural producers and retailers, farming 131,225 acres in 15 states. These forward-thinking individuals serve as examples by championing sound nutrient stewardship.
The 2017 4R Advocate winners will be announced in mid- December. Winners must be able to participate in an all-expense paid trip to the 2017 Commodity Classic which takes place March 2-4, 2017 in San Antonio, TX. The 2017 4R Advocate growers and nominating retailers will be recognized during a TFI awards banquet at the Commodity Classic.
More information on the application process can be found on the 4R website.
