New Updates to the Nutrient Management Program
University of Maryland Extension (UME) has launched an enhanced nutrient management planning process designed to adapt to modern farming practices and operations that better align with Maryland's agricultural regulations and environmental goals. Moving forward, UME will now administer and coordinate statewide nutrient management planning following the finalization of the agreement between the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources (AGNR) and the Maryland Department of Agriculture. More information is available on this news webpage.
To request a Nutrient Management Plan please download, fill out this form, and send it to kristaw@umd.edu.
Please take a look at the Nutrient Management Planning: Next Steps document.
