Although a Land Treatment Plan (LTP) is not itself required for Vermont farms, it provides the core data needed to develop a nutrient management plan (NMP). A NMP, however, is required for all Medium and Large Farm Operations and is encouraged for Small Farm Operations (SFOs).
A Land Treatment Plan includes:
- An interview and a detailed farm description;
- A field-by-field resource assessment including a calculation of soil loss using RUSLE2;
- An assessment of manure and waste storage;
- Planning alternatives to address resource concerns;
- A conservation plan summarizing planning alternatives;
- Maps of soils, streams, and farm resources; and
- Information for the operation and maintenance of farm conservation practices.
