Nitrogen from Compost? Webinar with Neal Kinsey

Can compost provide enough nitrogen for healthy crops or are growers overestimating what it can actually deliver? In this Acres U.S.A. webinar, legendary agronomist Neal Kinsey takes a practical look at how much nitrogen compost and humus truly supply, and whether that availability changes depending on soil type, mineral balance and overall soil health. Drawing on decades of field experience and the foundational work of Dr. William Albrecht, Neal explains why assumptions about nitrogen release can lead to costly fertility mistakes for both organic and conventional growers. He also discusses how biology, soil structure and management practices influence nitrogen cycling in real-world farming systems. In this webinar, Neal covers: • Whether compost alone can realistically meet crop nitrogen needs • How humus contributes to nitrogen availability • Differences in nitrogen release across soil types and conditions • Common misconceptions about organic nitrogen sources • Considerations for both organic and conventional fertility programs • Live audience Q&A Whether you’re using compost heavily, transitioning to regenerative practices or trying to better understand nitrogen dynamics in your soils, this discussion offers practical insight grounded in decades of agronomic consulting experience.
