Jeff Hatty from OSU will be presenting on how changing weather patterns can impact soil and water management.
The Adapt-N program will be introduced to educate farmers on utilizing precision nitrogen modeling on how nitrogen moves spatially through the soil over time to know what will be available for the farmers crops.
