U.S. farms have relied on fertilizer over-application for decades—but that era is ending. Regulatory pressures are mounting in key agricultural states like Iowa, Nebraska, and Wisconsin, where political and public concerns over nutrient runoff are prompting new rules for nutrient management plans. In this episode, Damian Mason speaks with Nick Musser of Moss Fertilizer Service and Pat Larson of NewFields Ag to examine the future of fertility practices in American agriculture. Learn how modern agronomics, precision application, and product innovation can reduce environmental impact without sacrificing yield. This is an essential conversation for farm operators, ag retailers, and anyone navigating the intersection of productivity, profitability, and sustainability.

Key topics:

Nutrient management regulations in agriculture
Economic impact of fertilizer overuse
Sustainable fertility practices
Future of fertilizer technology
Agronomic tools to maintain yield with fewer inputs
