Agricultural producers, crop consultants, and conservation professionals will have an opportunity to learn about practical soil and nutrient management strategies during a Nitrogen and Soil Management Field Day on July 1, 2026.
The event will take place from 10:30 a.m. to noon at the Lambalot Acres Field Site in Wisconsin.
Organized by the University of Wisconsin–Madison Division of Extension, the program will focus on research-backed approaches that can improve soil health, increase nutrient-use efficiency, and enhance farm profitability.
Attendees will gain valuable insights into how conservation practices influence the landscape and support long-term agricultural sustainability.
Educational sessions will cover several key topics, including findings from local nitrogen management trials, the benefits of soil conservation practices, and methods for identifying and managing low-performing acres through the use of yield stability and profit mapping tools.
Presentations will be delivered by UW–Madison Extension specialists Todd Prill and Jerry Clark, along with Scott Stipetich from Pheasants Forever. Participants can earn 1.5 Certified Crop Adviser (CCA) credits for attending.
Following the field day, guests are invited to enjoy a complimentary lunch provided by Otter Creek Agronomy and learn about the developing Eau Claire County Watershed Alliance, a farmer-led initiative focused on improving farm efficiency, profitability, and environmental stewardship.
