Our 4R Stewardship Pledge

Our Board of Directors developed and approved the Stewardship Pledge and gave the AGRIS team clear direction to put this commitment into practice.

• We will ensure that our management, sales team and operators are trained on the 4R Best Management Practices and the fundamental principles of 4R Nutrient Stewardship. We will encourage employees to become Certified Crop Advisors, keep their certification in good standing and to attend specific programs offered on 4R principles.
• We will provide and convey to our farmer-customers information on the 4R principles and the importance of following Best Management Practices.
• We will recommend testing soil regularly to assess the essential nutrients including, but not limited to phosphorus, potassium and pH.
• We will encourage our farmer-customers to participate in applied research focused on minimizing environmental impact of farm inputs by optimizing harvest yield and maximizing input utilization. Such practices include proper nutrient management, good pest control practices, scouting of fields and taking corrective action if needed to control pests during the growing season and timely harvest to minimize harvest loss.
