Answer to Question 1

Producers can ensure that their nutrient management practices have minimal environmental impact by using the following practices:
1 . Test soil regularly and following fertilizer recommendations precisely to avoid unnecessary over-application of nutrients. All states provide recommendations for economically optimum rates of fertilizer to apply to crops.
2 . Test manure before application and apply only at appropriate rates.
3 . Time fertilizer and manure application to crop needs. Nutrients not used by the crop are in danger of being lost to the environment. Many crops need the most nutrients 1 month after planting.
4 . Use the most efficient method of fertilizer application. For example, manure that is broadcast provides less nitrogen than injected manure because some of the nitrogen volatilizes into the air.
5 . Combine nutrient management with soil conservation management. Reducing soil erosion will help retain nutrients in the field.
6 . Incorporate green manures and perennials into rotations.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
