Soil test alone cannot predict yield response. On average - it works, but precision is lacking. We concluded that we need not only more, but DIFFERENT data for more accurate and precise P management strategies. acsess.onlinelibrary.wiley.c…

Listen to the podcast, then check out the #OpenAccess A&EL article by Kleinman, Osmond and team! doi.org/10.1002/ael2.20084 @donflaten1 @NathanONelson @alshober @NPK_Professor @USDA_ARS
Conservation practices move us towards a sustainable planet. But without proper testing and a holistic POV, they can cause unintended consequences or tradeoffs that affect the surrounding environment. Pete Kleinman and Deanna Osmond discuss this puzzle. ow.ly/xH6350Q8yxW

Dating back to 1899, soil samples were collected and cataloged by the @UofIllinois. Now @ajmargenot and his team need your help locating those original sites to bring the soil sample history full circle. Learn more here: illinoisnrec.org/be-a-part-o… #soils #soilarchive #historyofsoil

We've got some great episodes coming up in the next few months, but as ever, we're always looking for new ideas! Any topics you'd like us to cover? We're listening!

Harold was a mentor and friend. I will greatly miss being able to sit down with him and learn. Tim said it well that he always knew someone you needed to meet. I also appreciate Stu bringing up Quentin, another amazing man and friend who we lost way to early. I miss them both.
We note the passing of a leader in the development of precision agriculture, one who brought people together to find solutions, and one who knew there was always more to learn about soil fertility.
