From on-farm data to better nitrogen management

August 26, 2026

Finding the right nitrogen rate can be difficult, but the Iowa Nitrogen Initiative’s N-FACT tool helps take the guesswork out of the process. ISA Conservation Agronomist Evan Brehm and Nitrogen Initiative Project Director Melissa Miller share how data from on-farm nitrogen trials is helping farmers improve nutrient management through a new online tool. Explore how applying the right source, at the right rate, at the right time and in the right place can increase profitability on your farm and reduce nitrates leaving your field.

The Iowa Agribusiness Radio Network presents Pods of Potential with host Mark Magnuson. This episode is partially funded by the soybean checkoff and delivers data-driven research and results to help Iowa's soybean farmers maximize productivity, profitability and sustainability.
