Educational Opportunties

Educational opportunities for Certified Crop Advisers

The Illinois Nutrient Research and Education Council (NREC) funds research specifically to help Illinois agriculture meet the goals of the Illinois Nutrient Loss Reduction Strategy. Along the way, we discover what farmers can do to reduce runoff of valuable nutrients into streams, while discovering how to keep just the right amount of nutrients in the soil for the plants to deliver the best yields possible.

Consider NREC a valuable resource and tool to learn what we are learning – and then share what you learn with your growers.

Research results with actionable tactics are captured in videos with illustrations, video, and other visuals to help explain what researchers are homing in on.  It’s a variety of topics that have been chosen by NREC’s scientific research committee to help us all work for the good of the environment and farmer’s profitability.
