The Nutrient Management Program has updated the Nutrient Balance Sheet (NBS) Spreadsheet to Version 8.3. Several updates were added to resolve identified issues and provide additional information.
The updated NBS Version 8.3 can be found on the Nutrient Management Website in the planning tools section.
The following updates were made to version 8.3
1. NBS Transfer of Previous Versions
1.1 - Corrected an error in the transfer function that prevented transferring a version 8.2 NBS spreadsheet into another NBS 8.2 spreadsheet.
1.2 - Previous versions of NBS 5, 6, 7, and 8.x files can be transferred to NBS Version 8.3.
As a reminder, a detailed description of all updates to the NBS is available in the Version Updates tab of the 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, please contact the Penn State Nutrient Management Education Program Team at: nutrientmanagement@psu.edu
