The University of Minnesota Extension is hosting free \"Nitrogen Colleges\" in Mankato (Feb. 25-26) and Hutchinson (Feb 23-24) for farmers to learn nitrogen management strategies to save money, improve crop results, learn new technologies and to mitigate climate change. EDED host Karen Wright spoke with U of MN Water Resources Extension agent Brad Carlson (Mankato Regional Office) about the issues and how farmers can find more information to participate in Nitrogen-Smart programs. ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/KAI8TF3tnKD5HFSfkmMGCkP0UbFuonGCZK8fM2oPGd8/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzI4NTYwLzE2NDc2/MjI3OTctYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
