In this episode of the Growers Mineral Podcast, Jim Halbeisen (Director of Research) delves into the environmental and health impacts of excessive fertilizer use, particularly focusing on nitrogen loss and its contribution to water pollution. He discusses historical and recent concerns about nitrate buildup in water systems, its effects on human health, and the persistent issue of algae blooms in bodies of water like Lake Erie. Drawing from decades of agricultural literature and research, Jim shares insights on how sustainable farming practices and proper fertilizer management can mitigate these problems, ensuring both environmental safety and agricultural productivity.
