Ag Water Quality - collaborative efforts with KY Conservation District (CD) staff and technical personnel

Author: Tammy Brewster-Barnes

Planning Unit: Agriculture and Natural Resources Programs

Major Program: Ag Water Quality Program

Outcome: Initial Outcome

Due to changes in the State Cost-Share programs, KYNMPs are now required for producer participation.  Many DC staff were unsure about how to develop a KYNMP. Formal and informal trainings were given to staff. After the training, staff felt more confident that they could produce a simple plan for producers and understood that this plan could be used as a teaching tool to help farmers reduce their nutrient application while still maintaining good yields.
