The Nutrient Management Program has updated the Manure Management Plan Nutrient Balance Sheet (MMP NBS) Spreadsheet to Version 1.1. Several updates were added to resolve identified issues and provide additional information.
The updated MMP NBS Version 1.1 can be found in the Nutrient Management Website in the Manure Management Manual Program section.
The following updates were made to version 1.1:
- Winter Application Summary
1.1 The Field Identification column was updated to show field names or numbers instead of the Crop Group name. This change makes the printout consistent with the Winter Application Worksheet in the Manure Management Plan Workbook.
- MMP NBS Navigation Buttons
2.1 Navigation buttons were added to access all sections of the spreadsheet through the NBS Index page.
2.2 Several navigation buttons were updated to correct links that were not working.
- Contacts for Additional Information
3.1 This page was updated to provide the current contacts for additional information.
- MMP NBS Transfer of Previous Versions
4.1 MMP NBS 1.1 can transfer any Version 1 plan.
As a reminder, there is a detailed description of all the updates to the MMP NBS in the Version Updates tab of the MMP NBS spreadsheet. It is also the most recent update posted on the website in the “Latest News” section.
If you have any questions regarding the new spreadsheet version or agronomy/animal science questions, please contact the Penn State Nutrient Management Education Program Team at: nutrientmanagement@psu.edu.
