The Nutrient Management Farmer Education (NMFE) Grant Program is funded by the Wisconsin

Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) through the Soil and Water

Resource Management program to support nutrient management planning in Wisconsin. The NMFE

grant program funds entities to educate farmers on nutrient management and to enable farmers to write

their own nutrient management plans. Available funds determine the number and extent of grants

awarded.

Grants are provided via reimbursement. Award recipients must sign a grant contract with DATCP to

receive reimbursements. Funds must be spent in the year in which it is awarded. Awards may be

extended for an additional year if a formal request is submitted to the DATCP program manager.

Instructions for submitting an extension request will be included in the grant contract.
