QUEENSTOWN, Md. — The Delaware Maryland 4R (DEMD4R) Alliance is preparing for its annual 4R Field Day being held on August 31st at the Wye Research and Education Center. This year, DEMD4R is working with the University of Maryland Agronomy Program to offer more to the annual event.
We hope to see you at 8:00 AM to network with event sponsors and other farmers. At 9:00 AM attendees will rotate through three 45-minute stations covering the 4R’s of Manure Management, Splitting Nitrogen, and Strip-Tillage. Then everyone will come together at 11:45 AM to hear from our Keynote, Dr. Trenton Roberts with the University of Arkansas. Dr. Roberts will be showcasing his findings on pivot bio biologicals. After a delicious lunch, catered by Sisters by Chance, enjoy an agronomy tour of the Wye. Through a guided tour, enjoy five 15-minute stations showcasing ongoing crop production research here in Maryland. We are thankful to our event sponsors for helping make our annual field day possible and free! Please reserve a seat online at 4rmidatlantic.com/upcoming-events/. See you on the 31st!
The Delaware Maryland 4R Alliance is a collaboration between agribusinesses, farmers, government agencies, conservation groups, and scientists. We’re working to ensure that every nutrient application on Delaware and Maryland farms is consistent with the 4Rs – the right nutrient source, applied at the right rate, at the right time, in the right place. We are focused on increasing the implementation of 4R practices to benefit the economic, environmental, and social well-being of our region and our farmers.
