Voluntary Nutrient Management Planning
Voluntary Nutrient Management Planning (NMP) is a great way to save funds on fertilizer by avoiding over-application.
Also, did you know that sometimes NMPs are a requirement to get funding through different government programs?
Volunteering to go through this process with our team for guidance and assistance is a great way to show and know that your extra nutrients are not going to Lake Erie and feeding the current algae bloom issue.
Service Inclusion
This service includes a plan that states where, when, and how much fertilizer (or manure) will be put on your field to follow the Tri-State guidelines for the crops you want to grow for the next 3 years.
