Do you want a Nutrient Management Plan (NMP), or are you being required to have an NMP?
Are you in compliance with the NMP requirements and the NRCS 590 Standard?
Is your NMP up-to-date?
We will be holding the 2024 NMP classes in January and February (it is a 6-week course). We have not determined the schedule or locations yet. If you are interested in attending the class, please let me know at your earliest convenience.
There are also basic NMP course requirements that need to be done prior to taking the class in January that include:
- Current manure analysis
- Current soil analysis (no older than 3 years) for all fields on the farm
- A completed Land Treatment Plan (field maps, RUSLE2 values, etc.)
Given these course requirements and time to complete them, it is time now to start getting ready for the 2024 NMP classes.
If interested in the NMP, or taking the 2024 class, or gaining help with completing the course requirements, or gaining help to update your current NMP, please feel free to reach out to UVM Extension (Susan) at 802-524-6501 or 802-656-7611 or your local Conservation District office.
