Eldon C. Stutsman, Inc has joined the Iowa Agribusiness Environmental Partnership (IAEP) as a founding member. The partnership recognizes the environmental values Iowa agribusinesses share in supporting agriculture and food production and highlights the high standards of environmental service provided through crop consulting and product use in agriculture.
“The Iowa Agribusiness Environmental Partnership solidifies our commitment to provide sound agronomic advice to our customers. We are committed to protecting the land for future generations to inherit,” said Steve Meyerholz, Vice President of Agronomy.
The program provides growers and their community a clear understanding of the agribusiness sector’s shared environmental values and commitments, leadership to assist farmers and landowners in advancing environmental stewardship, and progress toward meeting environmental goals.
As an IAEP Advising Member, Eldon C. Stutsman, Inc has signed a commitment that they agree with the guiding principles of the partnership and commit to using the guiding principles when giving advice to farmers. The guidelines have been carefully developed and incorporate the latest science in managing crop nutrients for optimal environmental performance while maintaining crop production.

History
The Iowa Agribusiness Environmental Partnership was developed by the Agribusiness Association of Iowa Agronomy Committee. It clearly identifies the environmental guidelines agronomic advisers use when making recommendations to crop producers. The IAEP supports the voluntary framework of the Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy and allows Iowa agribusinesses to join together with one voice to show their commitment to environmental stewardship.
