For many areas in the Mid\-Atlantic with relatively course\-textured soils, it is good practice to apply a small amount of nitrogen at the beginning of the growing season, followed by one or more fertilizer applications later on\. This allows most of the nitrogen to be applied nearer in time to when the crop will take it up, and reduce the risk of loss in a heavy rain event\. ## Events - [Delaware announces Soil Health Field Day and On\-Farm Research Workshop on August 10](https://4rmidatlantic.com/event/delaware-announces-soil-health-field-day-and-on-farm-research-workshop-on-august-10/): Two Educational Programs are scheduled for August 10\.
