What is a CNMP?
A Comprehensive Nutrient Management Plan (CNMP) is a whole farm, progressive document. A CNMP contains records of the current activities on a livestock operation, an evaluation of the existing environmental risks, and proposals to reduce the risk of negative impacts to the environment. The objective is to ensure both farm production and environmental goals (clean water, clean air, and healthy soils) are achieved on the farm.

Why Should I Get a CNMP?
Having a CNMP developed for your farming operation provides you a strategy for managing your farm’s soils and nutrients. Having and following a CNMP may protect you from regulatory actions in case of an accidental manure spill or complaints about odors and other nuisances associated with the management and spreading of manure.
