In 2003 Dr. Bill Raun and Dr. Jim Schepers arranged the first NUE. conference in Stillwater OK.
The focus of the meeting was a discussion of current management strategies and presentations on potential methods to improve NUE. The meeting had 24 researchers and industry specialist from Oklahoma, Nebraska, Colorado, Kansas, Virginia, Iowa, Maryland, and Brazil. Last year UNL hosted the meeting which included 170 attendees with 37% were graduate students. To this date the conference organizers have been able to work with industry to provide this event at no cost to all who attend. For years this meeting was known for the lively discussion that spurred enthusiastic research and discovery.
