Save the date, Tuesday July 26th, 2016, (10 am to 12 pm) for this year’s Southern Idaho Nutrient Management Mini-Field Day near Kimberly, Idaho. This year, we will be meeting directly at the long term manure study field site near the USDA ARS and UI Kimberly station buildings.

The field day will be held solely at the manure study field site (no bus will be provided).
