Welcome to Wyoming's web site for Comprehensive Nutrient Management Plan (CNMP) development! This web site is designed to take you through the process of developing a CNMP for your operation. It is meant for use by livestock producers of all kinds including cattle-feeders, dairies, cow-calf operations, horse owners, and poultry and pork producers. Crop and environmental consultants may also find it useful to help their clients.

The purpose of this web site is to help you develop your own CNMP. The first thing you may want to do is determine whether you have an Animal Feeding Operation, and might benefit from the development of a CNMP.

So what is a CNMP? A CNMP is a detailed plan that includes the following components: feed management, manure handling and storage, land application of manure, land management, record keeping, and other utilization options. In the workbook, we've broken this down to 15 short sections which you can complete at your own pace. We recommend you print the sections, complete them, and store them in a notebook.

Please let us know if you have ideas for improving this workbook or if you have any questions. E-mail Bonda Habets (bonda.habets@wy.usda.gov) at USDA-NRCS with your input.
