The statewide agricultural performance standards (SAPS) state that every producer that applies chemical or biological fertilizer must develop and maintain a nutrient management plan by 2008. In an effort to help the landowners of Grant County meet the SAPS, the Grant County Conservation, Sanitation, and Zoning Department has developed a program where farmers can learn to write their own plan. It is a 4 session training course, where you learn the proper way to sample your soils, find out about the nutrient crediting and UW Recommendations and learn the ins and outs of the SNAP Plus computer program, used to write your plan.
