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.
