1 Insert Date and Event Here Useful to Usable (U2U): Corn Split Nitrogen Application Decision Support Tool Linda S. Prokopy Associate Professor, FNR Hans Schmitz Gibson County Extension Melissa Widhalm U2U Project Manager

Corn Belt Agriculture and Climate Successful crop production relies on favorable weather and climate patterns Limited seasonal climate predictability can increase farm vulnerability Current tools and models are not widely used, may not be meeting corn farmers’/advisors’ needs

About U2U Transform existing climate information into usable knowledge for agricultural decision making Give farmers the resources and training to more effectively manage variable climate conditions Increase Extension’s capacity to address agro-climate issues Our Vision More resilient and profitable farms in a variable and changing climate

U2U Team climatologists, crop modelers, agronomists, IT specialists, economists, sociologists, Extension, and more

Corn Split Nitrogen Application Decision Support Tool Considering possible benefits of side dress applied N? This tool allows producers to consider: Time required to side dress Economic analysis of the savings with timely N application Potential risk associated with weather preventing N side dress

Corn Split Nitrogen Application Decision Support Tool County and crop reporting district specific information. Incorporates Fieldwork Days as reported from 1981 to the last reporting year.

Corn Split Nitrogen Application Decision Support Tool

Input Customization

Set Planting Date and Plant Growth Stage by Which to Apply

Set Risks and Rewards Defaults exist based on Iowa State Research.

Pricing Information The user definitely needs to define these costs. These defaults will be unrealistic in most cases.

Set the Working Window Note that the tool will alert you when logical errors occur.

Input Application Equipment and Acres to Cover

Set Work Dates and Time Tool allows one to schedule days off and normal working hours.

Confirming the Time Available Using the Field Work Day history, tool assesses whether applicator has the number of hours needed to coverage defined acreage.

Inputs Complete

Economic Data

Average Savings
