Nutrient Management Plans
Dawn Bernau is the Nutrient Management Specialist working
with producers in Fillmore, Houston, Winona, Olmsted and Mower counties with
the development of Nutrient Management Plans.
The definition of a Nutrient Management Plan (NMP) is managing the amount, source, placement, form, and timing of the application of plant nutrients and soil amendments.
A NMP is comprised of basic farm, crop, animal and manure information which can be used to maximize your total farming operations nutrient needs. When complete it gives the producer a detailed overview of their operation and allows the producer to use the plan as a tool to increase net returns. Furthermore it will help utilize plant nutrients in a form that maintains or improves soil and protects water, air, plant, animal and human resources.
If you would like to develop a plan or have questions pertaining to NMPs, contact Dawn at (507) 765-3878 Ext. 3.
