The self-paced online Nutrient Management Farmer Education (NMFE) is a DATCP-approved course administered by UW-Madison Extension’s Nutrient & Pest Management program that Wisconsin farmers can complete to certify themselves to write a 590-compliant nutrient management plan for their farm. This course does not certify someone to write nutrient management plans for other farms.
The course is completed by viewing a video series across several modules. It has recently been adapted to an online course, hosted on a website called Canvas. Canvas can be accessed via desktop or the Canvas Student mobile app.
