They will be introduced to the use of a software program designed for the Nutrient Management Plan. Students will develop a five-year plan based on the production objectives of the farm taking into account its initial status and the resources that are available. A five-year total nutrient budget for the enterprise will also be presented along with the nutrient management strategies selected to reduce the environmental impact of the agricultural activities of the farm.
