Developing a nutrient management plan (NMP) that is both economically and environmentally sound has been made easier with computer software. Both crop consultants and farmers have used the SNAP+ software to develop plans throughout the state of Wisconsin. To meet the growing interest in development and implementation of the NMP, a training session is being offered for farmers and agronomists. The training session will focus on learning the free SNAP+ program.  SNAP+, a Microsoft Windows based Nutrient Management Planning software program, is designed to develop and guide implementation of the NMP in accordance with Wisconsin’s Nutrient Management Standard Code 590.  Trainers from the Wisconsin Dept. of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection will be on hand to lead the training. Bring your own laptop computer or one will be provided on site.  There is no charge to attend.
