Nutrient Management Program
The Maryland Cooperative Extension's Agricultural Nutrient Management Program is a component of the University of Maryland's College of Agriculture and Natural Resources Nutrient Management Programs and focuses on reducing the pollution of the Chesapeake Bay by plant nutrients from cropland.
The Program provides nutrient planning services to
Maryland farmers via a network of nutrient management advisors
located in all county Extension offices and provides continuing
education and technical support to certified nutrient management
consultants via state and regional nutrient management
specialists.
WMREC houses two faculty members of the Nutrient Management
Program. Lief
Eriksen is a Nutrient Management Regional Specialist and
provides support to the nutrient management advisors and private
consultants located in the western Maryland region. Heather
Hutchinson is a Nutrient Management Specialist and is an
integral part of training and program development statewide.
