**NEW MEXICO COMPREHENSIVE NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT PLAN INVENTORY SHEET**

Development of a Comprehensive Nutrient Management Plan (CNMP) requires
an inventory of individual operation information related to:

-   Manure production, collection, storage, treatment, and transfer of
    manure

-   Land management practices that influence nutrient runoff and
    leaching

-   Land application of manure along with soil and manure testing

-   Feed management and management of dead animals

This information is necessary in order to determine manure nutrient
content, as well as to identify practices that may be needed to prevent
potential pollution problems. The following sheets provide a format for
AFO operators to gather and record inventory information on their
operations. This information is necessary in order to develop a CNMP. If
it is not clear what information is needed or how to gather the
information, help is available from the Natural Resources Conservation
Service (NRCS), County Extension Agent, Soil Conservation District,
producer association, or a private consultant.

The **plot drawing** should show the general outline of the feedlot or
facility where the animals are confined. It should also show buildings
such as feed storage areas and housing areas, storage structures, and
ditches or other waterways that run through or are adjacent to the
facility. If necessary an additional sheet should be used. Lot size in
square feet is calculated by multiplying the length of the lot in feet
by the width of the lot in feet. Where more than one feedlot or facility
exists on the individual farm or ranch, information should be provided
for each one.

**Soil and manure testing** are two very important components of the
inventory gathering process. Contact the County Extension Agent or NRCS
for information on taking soil and manure tests. Initially, soil tests
should be taken on every field. The soil test should be taken for soil
pH, electrical conductivity, organic matter, nitrate-nitrogen,
phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and sodium. (See NMSU Guides
A-108 and A-122) Manure tests should be taken separately for different
manure types. This information should be attached to the inventory
worksheets.

**Feed management** is an optional part of a CNMP. If feed management
practices are not being used or will not be used, this information can
be left blank. The information requested is not in regards to the type
and amount of feed, rather if special supplements such as phytase are
being fed to lower the nutrient content of the manure.

The information provided should be as specific and accurate as possible.
The numbers provided have a large impact on the design of storage and
handling systems and on the potential for nutrient runoff and leaching.
If additional room is needed, record the information on a blank sheet
and attach it to the inventory sheets. The information should reflect
any plans to increase the number or type of animals, to purchase
additional land, or to make other changes in the way manure is handled
or stored, or in land management practices.

Additional information such as Farm A Syst worksheets, other brochures
can be obtained through the County Extension Agent, NRCS or over the
Internet. These informational materials can be used to identify
potential pollution problems as well as provide possible solutions to
the problems.
