- What is the WFRP? -

The WFRP is a unique program designed to support agricultural research focusing on fertilizer efficiency, groundwater protection, and soil fertility conducted through the University of Wisconsin. The program consists of a 7-seat council which resides in the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection. The council is responsible for recommending projects to be financed by fertilizer research funds. The council members meet annually to select projects to recommend for funding. Recommendations are made by a majority vote of the council.

- FRC Mission Statement -

"FRC funds research and other designated activities to provide a scientific basis for and promote the philosophy that the Fertilizer Industry supports economically and environmentally sound recommendations, practices and technologies on fertilizer material usage by the end user."

- Program Objectives -

1) To gain knowledge on fertilizer efficiency, plant nutrition, and groundwater and surface water protection that can improve agricultural profitability and protect resources.

2) To provide information for Wisconsin farmers that can be used for making wise decisions regarding fertilizer use in Wisconsin.
