Farm settings are used across the entire farm.
CAFO setting
Check this box if the farm is using a Wisconsin Pollution Discharge Elimination System permit.
Manure credit settings
Check the appropriate manure nutrient crediting used for the farm. 2nd year credits are required for WPDES permits. To learn more about nutrient credits, see chapter 9 (page 78) of UWEX A2809 Nutrient application guidelines for fruit, vegetable, and fruit crops in Wisconsin.
P management strategies
A strategy to minimize surface water quality impacts. Further information can be found in section IV.C.2.b of the NM590Standard
Winter spreading strategies: Winter spreading strategies set here will be used on all fields with winter. This setting can be overridden on a field by field basis from the Nutrient Application Planner
SWQMA strategies (permitted farms)
Used to indicate all of the strategies used on the farm for applying manure adjacent to navigable water, conduits to navigable water, or wetlands in an NR243 SWQMA.
W Soils Acknowledgement
The 'W' soils depth to groundwater may vary seasonally. By checking this box, the planner indicates that water table depth will always be checked at the time of manure application to ensure it is deeper than 24 inches across the field. Checking this box will cause W soils to be included in spreadable acres and will remove "manure prohibited on soils with less than 24 inches to the water table" compliance messages from the nutrient application planner and compliance check report. This setting can be changed on a field by field basis if this practice won't be followed farm wide
