On September 1, 2011 members of the CBMP held a press conference at the Farm Progress Show to announce the official start of KIC by 2025. Work will begin in six priority watersheds beginning in the fall of 2011. KIC by 2025 will seek to educate the agricultural sector, dedicate significant resources toward research to reduce nutrient losses and enhance nutrient efficiency, educate suppliers and farmers, and measure the adoption of in-field practices to enhance nutrient stewardship through the adoption of the 4R's: Right Source, Right Rate, Right Time, Right Place.
