Growers are invited to participate in a Nitrogen Management Plan (NMP) training, to acquire the credentials needed to develop self-certified plans for their farms. The Conditional Ag Waiver requires that growers develop NMPs for their farms if they’re located in Responsibility Areas (RAs) subject to nutrient Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) that are not yet met, or where nutrient benchmark exceedances have been detected. The map below identifies the RAs where this requirement applies and indicates the associated color-coded completion date goal for developing the plan(s).
