AGRIS Co-operative earns 4R Nutrient Stewardship Certification in Ontario and Canada
CHATHAM, ONTARIO, March 21, 2019 – Fertilizer Canada has announced today that AGRIS Co-operative’s Cottam branch, is one of only two agriculture nutrient service providers to achieve certified status in Ontario and Canada. The voluntary program certifies nutrient service providers in the Western Lake Erie Basin and across Ontario that apply or make recommendations on fertilizers in accordance with 4R Nutrient Stewardship principles – which refers to using the Right Source of nutrients at the Right Rate, at the Right Time and in the Right Place. Program participants must go through an independent, third-party audit of 37 standards to demonstrate they not only understand 4R principles, but also follow them.
“We are committed as a co-operative to the 4R Nutrient Stewardship program and very honoured to be only one of two retailers in Canada to achieve certified status,” says John Nooyen, AGRIS Co-operative board president. “Our board of directors unanimously adopted and supports the 4R Nutrient Stewardship Program and we proudly display our own AGRIS 4R Nutrient Stewardship Pledge at each of our locations. Now that Cottam has achieved certified status, we are planning to have the rest of our locations certified too,” added Nooyen.

Taking a closer look at what contributes to soybean yields, there are basically nine key areas to focus on. Let’s take a closer look at the production factors involved for higher yields. A current soil sample will allow for a sound agronomic recommendation by indicating which essential nutrients are required and at what rate. The latest concern is for the addition of sulphur. As levels decrease from atmospheric deposit, the soil levels will continue to decline. Sulphur is becoming an ever more essential ingredient in our soybean fertilizer blends.
