On-Farm Research ResultsWI Comprehensive Nutrient Management Planning
WI Natural Resources Conservation Service (WI–NRCS) determined that statewide guidance was needed to clearly define necessary components of a CNMP and suggest a method for planners to develop CNMPs with WI farmers. Discovery Farms and WI–NRCS cooperatively worked with 11 livestock producers to test sequentially improved plan development protocols, and develop CNMPs. Planner and producer comments and feedback were provided to WI-NRCS who sequentially revised the planning protocol after every completed plan, and Discovery Farms staff tested each revised process with the next set of producers. This process repeated itself several times over two years. In the fall of 2006 WI-NRCS finalized a protocol for necessary components of a CNMP, a suggested method for planners to develop CNMPs with WI farmers, and a method for WI-NRCS to receive and document completed plans. WI–NRCS provides the resulting tools, templates and references on their web-site: The CNMP project was a Discovery Farms Special Project, and what follow are documents resulting from that project: Information Available:Brief:
