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?
If you have any questions about the NMP or wish to create one or update your existing one, please feel free to contact Susan Brouillette at UVM Extension by email at susan.brouillette@uvm.edu or by phone at 802-656-7611. You can also contact your local Conservation District Office.
We will be holding the 2025 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 Susan 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 2025 NMP classes.
If interested in the NMP, or taking the 2025 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 802-656-7611 or 802-524-6501 or your local Conservation District office.
