Getting to Know SnapPlus?

SnapPlus (Soil Nutrient Application Planner) is Wisconsin’s nutrient management planning software. The program helps farmers make the best use of their on-farm nutrients, as well as make informed and justified commercial fertilizer purchases. Check out these how-to videos to learn more about the program.

In Wisconsin, all farms should have a nutrient management plan. Some farms will follow a nutrient management plan if they:

• Participate in the Farmland Preservation Program
• Are offered cost-sharing to develop a plan
• Accept cost-sharing for manure storage systems
• Are large livestock operations that require a Wisconsin Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit
• Are regulated under a local ordinance for manure storage or livestock siting
