Manure Management Planner
Manure Management Planner (MMP) is a Windows-based computer program developed at
Purdue University that is used to create manure management plans for crop and
animal feeding operations. The user enters information about the operation's
fields, crops, storage, animals, and application equipment. MMP helps the user
allocate manure (where, when and how much) on a monthly basis for the length of
the plan (1-10 years). This allocation process helps determine if the current
operation has sufficient crop acreage, seasonal land availability, manure
storage capacity, and application equipment to manage the manure produced in an
environmentally responsible manner. MMP is also useful for identifying changes
that may be needed for a non-sustainable operation to become sustainable, and
determine what changes may be needed to keep an operation sustainable if the
operation expands. MMP is nationally supported
by both USDA-NRCS and EPA for nutrient management planning.
Manure Management Planner (MMP) is free. It
can be downloaded from this web site (www.agry.purdue.edu/mmp).
