(from harvest to harvest)

Name of qualified nutrient management planner

Planner's business name, address, phone:

Circle the planner’s qualification:

Cropland Acres

Name of farm operator receiving nutrient management plan:

(owned & rented)

1. NAICC-CPCC

2. ASA-CCA

3. ASA-Professional Agronomist

Rented farm(s) landowner name(s) and acreage:

4. SSSA-Soil Scientist

5. DATCP approved training course

6. Other credentials approved by DATCP

Circle relevant program requirement or regulation the plan was developed for:

Ordinance, USDA, DATCP, DNR, NR 243 – NOD or WPDES

Yes

Are the following field features identified on maps or aerial photos in the plan?

a. Field location, soil survey map unit(s), field boundary, acres and field identification number

b. Areas prohibited from receiving nutrient applications

: Surface water, established concentrated flow channels with

perennial cover, permanent non-harvested vegetative buffer, non-farmed wetlands, sinkholes, lands where established

vegetation is not removed, nonmetallic mines, and fields eroding at a rate exceeding tolerable soil loss (T)

c. Areas within 50 feet of a potable drinking water well where mechanically-applied manure is prohibited

d. Areas prohibited from receiving winter nutrient applications:

Slopes > 9% (12% if contour-cropped); Surface

Water Quality Management Area (SWQMA) defined as land within 1,000 ft of lakes and ponds or within 300 ft of

perennial streams draining to these waters, unless manure is deposited through winter gleaning/pasturing of plant residue

and not exceeding the N and P requirements of this standard; Additional areas identified within a conservation plan as

contributing runoff to surface or groundwater

e. Areas where winter applications are restricted unless effectively incorporated within 72 hours:

Land

contributing runoff within 200 feet upslope of direct conduits to groundwater such as a well, sinkhole, fractured bedrock at

the surface, tile inlet, or nonmetallic mine

Sites vulnerable to N leaching: Areas within 1,000 feet of a municipal well, and soils listed in Appendix

1 of the Conservation Planning Technical Note WI-1

Are erosion controls implemented so the crop rotation will not exceed T on fields that receive

nutrients according to the conservation plan or WI P Index model?

Were soil samples collected and analyzed within the last 4 years according to UW Publication A2100

recommendations?

Using the field’s predominant soil series and realistic yield goals, are planned nutrient application

rates, timing, and methods of all forms of N, P, and K listed in the plan and consistent with UW

Publication A 2809, Soil Test Recommendations for Field, Vegetable and Fruit Crops, and the 590

standard?

Do manure production and collection estimates correspond to the acreage needed in the plan? Are

manure application rates realistic for the calibrated equipment used?

Is a single phosphorus (P) assessment of either the P Index or soil test P management strategy

uniformly applied to all fields within a tract?

Are areas of concentrated flow, resulting in reoccurring gullies, planned to be protected with

perennial vegetative cover?

Will nutrient applications on non-frozen soil within the SWQMA comply with the following?

a. Unincorporated liquid manure on unsaturated soils will be applied according to Table 1 of the 590

standard to minimize runoff

b. One or more of the following practices will be used:

1) Install/maintain permanent vegetative buffers, or 2)

Maintain greater than 30% crop residue or vegetative coverage on the surface after nutrient application, or 3) Incorporate

nutrients leaving adequate residue to meet tolerable soil loss, or 4) Establish fall cover crops promptly following application

I certify that the nutrient management plan represented by this checklist complies with Wisconsin’s NRCS 590 nutrient management standard.
