The Four Rs and Why They Matter

  • Summary

  • Thanks to a program by The Fertilizer Institute, members of Congress are learning more about the essential elements to growing crops.

    Allen Spray of Willard Agri Service and grower Bryant Lowe of Lakeside Farms in Delaware recently walked the halls of Congress, meeting with elected officials, their staff and Non-Governmental Organizations, to outline the importance of having sufficient tools to grow crops. They emphasized the Four R Program for fertilizer use – the right rate, source, placement and timing.

    “It takes us as average everyday citizens to make the country what you want it to be, you have to get involved,” Spray said.

    Both Spray and Lowe said the trip was worthwhile, with excellent dialogue. They mentioned following up with all parties in Washington, D.C. and being a future information source for them are critically important.
