Nutrient Management Planning (NMPs)<\/strong>
\nWinter is the time to create and update your plan. NMP classes begin in January. If you need an NMP but don\u2019t have one, please contact your local conservation district to get the process started for next winter\u2019s classes. NMP update sessions for those farmers who have already taken our class and finished an NMP with us will be held in February and March. Tentative dates in Middlebury are February 8 and 15<\/strong>, and March 8 and 14, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m<\/strong>. An RSVP is requested<\/em><\/span> – please call our office to confirm you are coming. Remember, an NMP has to be updated every year to be accurate and reflect Vermont RAPs regulations. If you need to find out whether your operation is required to have an NMP call us, 802-388-4969, or check out Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food and Markets (VAAFM) online at go.uvm.edu\/raps<\/a>.<\/p>\n
