On September 25, 2005, new criteria requirements for TSPs certifying in
Nutrient Management Organic and Inorganic, Pest Management, and the CNMP
Nutrient Management require completion of Modules 1-7 of the NRCS course
Nutrient and Pest Management Considerations in Conservation Planning.
Modules 1-6 are offered through [AgLearn](http://www.aglearn.usda.gov/)
as a self-study course. Module 7 is a classroom module. Iowa NRCS is
partnering with Prairie River's RC&D to deliver the following three
courses to TSPs who are certified in Iowa or who are anticipating
certifying in Iowa:

Module 7 Nutrient and Pest Management Considerations

CNMP Nutrient Management (*Iowa only* certification)

CNMP Manure & Wastewater Handling and Storage (*Iowa only*
certification)

The three courses, Nutrient and Pest Management Planning Considerations
-- Module 7, CNMP Nutrient Management and CNMP Manure and Wastewater
Handling and Storage will be offered over a 3 day period. Participants
may register for the courses as stand-alone courses, however, those
desiring CNMP Nutrient Management will also need to register for the
Module 7 training. It is important to register early. The courses will
be offered 3 times this winter and to ensure quality training, we are
accepting only 25 participants in each course.

**It is anticipated that the course participants will be eligible to
receive CCA and/or CEU credit for completing the course.**

**NOTE**: After April, 2007, agricultural producers with CNMP contract
requirements in Iowa will not receive reimbursement for services
provided by TSPs who do not have CNMP certification.

**PREWORK REQIREMENTS:**

Participants will be required to complete the required NRCS courses
prior to receiving course certification. Some of the pre-requisite NRCS
courses have already been approved for CCA credit. Course requirements
are found on the Iowa NRCS TSP website at
<http://www.ia.nrcs.usda.gov/technical/TSP.html> or by clicking on the

To access the courses, the TSP will need to be registered on
[AgLearn](http://www.aglearn.usda.gov/), NRCS's learning website.

It should be emphasized that this certification is Iowa specific. TSPs
who desire the more complete CNMP Total Planning certification should
contact [Lara Moody](mailto:Lmoody@iastate.edu) at Iowa State
University. The ISU course is excellent and should be completed by
anyone wishing to enrich their knowledge of the CNMP process, work on
CNMP Nutrient Management or CNMP Manure & Wastewater Handling and
Storage in states other than Iowa, or who desire certification in CNMP
Total Planning.
