August 20, 2020
Nutrient management is not a game. It verifies the health of your livestock operation and thus requires a documented plan (called an Environmental/Nutrient Management Program), assembled by a certified planner, for annual review by the Idaho State Department of Agriculture. This detailed bulletin describes the basic information involved, including the best size of facilities, the required soil tests, how to calculate nutrient and manure application rates, plus important advice about maintaining competent record keeping throughout the entire process.
