 Nutrient Management plans are done every 5 years
Water Quality Tech, Travis Turner writes Nutrient  Management Plans with follow-ups as needed.  Soil samples are taken from landowner’s property and the results are used to recommend changes in applying litter or other fertilize. This gives producers guidance on placing the correct amount of nutrients on their land in accordance with their soil sample analysis. With an increasing number of registered poultry farms in addition to the cattle farmers needing nutrient guidance, the WQT’s work is vital to Sharp County. WQT also assists the NRCS District Conservationist in updating and writing other plans as needed.

Also each new NMP requires a litter sample.  Collect a quart ziplock bag of litter and take to the cooperative extension office to be sent off for analysis. There is a $35-$40 fee associated with the test.   This is only done once every 5 years when renewing  your NMP.
