"Upper Midwest Nutrient Reduction Strategies: Progress, Future Directions, and Scale of Change Needed"
Over the past decade, Upper Midwest states have been actively pursuing nutrient reduction strategies in response to the Hypoxia Task Force Action Plan. There have been exciting developments in new practice development and implementation but there is a need to better understand the scale of change needed to reach the goals and continue to pursue new approaches to increase the rate of adoption. To reach the goals will require broad use of all available practices, including nutrient management, land use, and edge-of-field practices.
