Outcomes:

Farmers develop and implement nutrient management plans for their pasture and forage systems. (Action)
Farmers develop and implement pasture management plans that include clear farm and/or enterprise goals, stocking rates, paddock size, paddock layout, and residency intervals. Plans may also include monitoring strategies and management components. (Action)
Greenhouse and garden center operators increase their profitability by using financial management skills. (Action)
Municipalities, schools, golf courses, towns, and others increase the quality of the public parks and athletic fields through the implementation of turf management practices including fertilization, pest control, seeding, and soil modification. (Action)
NH fruit and vegetable producers develop and implement nutrient management plans for their fruit and vegetable cropping systems. (Action)
Producers and turf/landscape managers increase quality and marketability of horticultural crops by controlling pests and diseases using monitoring techniques, insect and disease identification methods, growing degree day information, and both chemical and non-chemical mitigation strategies. (Action)
Turf and landscape make optimal use of nutrient inputs and reduce nutrient movement off-site export through soil testing, identifying all sources of inputs and managing fertilizer use. (Action)

Carl Majewski

Narrative:	Two new farms in CHeshire and Sullivan Counties took advantage of mid-season nitrogen testing for corn.One farm had already purchased approx. $2700 in fertilizer, but testing indicated that he only needed $900 worth of fertilizer. Farm learned how to monitor crop, and this has the potential to save some $1800 in crop inputs annually. ANother farm that usually applied approximately two tons of N fertilizer to a large corn field prior to planting waited until later in the season to see if it was necessary. Testing indicated that no fertilizer was necessary, saving the farm approximately $2000 in input costs.
