Attention Adams County Producers! We are pleased to announce that Wisconsin DATCP and Adams County Land and Water will be hosting a Nutrient Management Farmer Education Training this coming February 5th and 6th! Farmers interested in Nutrient Management can attend the 2 day training being held at the Adams Community Center where they will learn about Nutrient Management, SnapPlus, and how to develop a plan for their own farm! We will have people available to assist with the training as well

Nutrient Management Plans can help save on input costs. A 2012 Wisconsin study of 250 farms with Nutrient Management Plans showed that 69% of farms saved on average $18/acre, while reducing Nitrogen and Phosphorous inputs. Plus, by attending the course, you can receive stipends for soil tests, manure analysis, and attending the course! The numbers for stipends can be found in the attached flyer.

Sign up will be open up until the day before. Reserve your spot by using the QR code or our contact information in the flyer! If you need assistance in signing up, give us a call at 608-339-4268. We hope to see you there!
