Comprehensive Nutrient Management Plan Development Course
The CNMP Development Course is being offered in coordination with Iowa State University and the Natural Resources Conservation Service. The course is based on the CNMP Core Curriculum training materials developed by Iowa State University, Michigan State University, Purdue University, The University of Idaho, The University of Tennessee, and the Natural Resources Conservation Service. This training is a component of the Iowa State University CNMP Certification Program. Under a national MOU with USDA, individuals certified under this program can be recognized by USDA as Technical Service Providers (TSP) through the Tech Reg system.
This CNMP Development Course provides the educational component of the ISU TSP certification program. This three-day short course is designed to train individuals in the development of Comprehensive Nutrient Management Plans (CNMPs). Course participants will learn how to prepare CNMPs meeting current NRCS guidelines. The course will focus on the development process. A CNMP developed for an existing livestock facility will be used to demonstrate practical plan preparation techniques, and attendees will receive an example CNMP. Course participants will receive training that is applicable in any state, as well as experience with a real plan during the course. In class learning exercises will be used to enhance the learning process. Attendees will receive an example CNMP.

At the request of previous attendees, presentations have been added to show you how to "Put it All Together". This session will take place on day three of the conference. Experienced Technical Service Providers have been invited to share with you their methods and experiences during the conference as well as answer your questions about constructing a CNMP in a panel discussion. For information on their presentation topics, see the agenda within the brochure.
