Nutrient Management Strategies (NMS)

Nutrient Management Strategies take a general look at the farm and the nutrient units. The nutrients generated at the farm must be identified and described where they will be applied or transferred.  It will also provide setbacks for the manure and or the dry fertilizer. Most customers find through the nutrient management strategy they can cut their dry fertilizer bills down substantially. Saving some farms thousands of dollars every year!

The most common reasons for a nutrient management strategy include:

• Building
  • Horse Barn
  • Cattle Barn
  • Chicken Barn
  • Swine Barn
• Building New Milk House
  • Goat
  • Cow
• Any Facility that may house animals
  • mink barn
• Property Title Transfer
• Farm with less than 300NU

Nutrient Management Plans (NMP)

NMP are very similar to a NMS except they are more intensive.  A plan is made for each nutrient unit generated on the farm and how it will be applied to the fields in the farm unit. (What is a farm unit? Click Here to visit the OMAFRA website) If you don’t have enough land to spread all the manure you can always create a manure transfer agreement between neighbours or brokers. Soil samples will be taken from each field and sent for analysis to be input in the NMP to provide an accurate depiction of the field. All this information will be gathered and compiled to be submitted to OMAFRA to review.
