To be eligible, applicants must be an agricultural producer or be working with one or more agricultural producers, agree to collaborate with the University of Wisconsin on their project, and voluntarily conduct commercial nitrogen optimization field studies for a minimum of two years.
Preapproval of the research design must be obtained from UW by December 20th and is required for submitting the final grant application.
