Implementing a nutrient management plan (NMP) is an excellent way to reduce erosion and runoff while increasing profitability on your farm. Learn how to create your own nutrient management plan, how to update your plan, or understand the plan that has been created for your farm.
Day one will be a classroom session on nutrients and nutrient management planning. On day two and three participants will use SnapPlus software to develop a plan for their farm.
Presenters: Dan Marzu, Chris Clark, Scott Reuss, Andrea Topper
