Farmer Nutrient Management Training

Are you currently working on your own nutrient management plan, or perhaps interested in creating one? With input costs staying high and many commodity prices staying low, optimizing your manure credits and fertilizer use can really help your bottom line. We have a few spots open for new participants, and plenty of opportunities for those wanting to update their existing plans. Thanks to funding from WI-DATCP, we're able to offer a stipend to farmers who take the time to attend a training and complete a nutrient management plan for 2026. The training is completely free, but it does require a bit of your time to learn, plan, and get that plan finalized. Dane County staff will also be available to provide follow-up support right at your farm or at the County office, making sure you’ve got all the help you need along the way.

Training dates:

Tuesday, January 20, 2025, 10:30 am - 2:30 pm - Nutrient Management 101 and more

Tuesday, January 27, 2025, 10:30 am - 2:30 pm - SnapPlus training and introduction to SnapPlus 3

Be sure to RSVP.  Lunch is provided at both training sessions.
