Vermont's Nutrient Management Planning Tool
Track: Agriculture
Author(s): Steve Sharp

The Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS), in collaboration with federal, state, and local agencies as well as producers, completed an ambitious multiagency project referred to as the Idaho OnePlan. The project resulted in the development of Web and desktop software that combines a myriad of government regulations and current best management practices to help farmers develop nutrient management plans. The Vermont Center for Geographic Information (VCGI), in collaboration with NRCS VT, has implement the OnePlan system in Vermont. Web and desktop components of the application have been modified for use in Vermont. This initiative will provide NRCS Technical Services Providers (TSPs) and farmers with the tools they need to develop comprehensive nutrient management plans.
