In this episode of the Nutrient Management Podcast, we discuss challenging spring weather and how growers can move forward. What are field conditions looking like around Minnesota? After a cold, wet April with not much fieldwork, what should growers be thinking about heading into May? How can growers better manage nutrients, and water, as Minnesota's climate gets increasingly wetter?

• Lindsay Pease, Extension nutrient and water management specialist - NWROC (Crookston)
• Jeff Strock, U of M soil scientist - SWROC (Lamberton)
