Comprehensive Nutrient
Management Plan
“Conservation Activity Plan
(CAP) – Planning” or
“Organic Initiative” or
“GOMI” or “MRBI”
A comprehensive nutrient management plan (CNMP) is a conservation plan
for an animal feeding operation (AFO) that documents how nutrients and
contaminants will be managed in the production and land treatment areas of
the farm to protect animal & human health, and the environment.

“Conservation Activity Plan
(CAP) – Planning” or
“Organic Initiative”
Nutrient management plans are documents of record of how nutrients will
be managed for plant production and to address the environmental concerns
related to the offsite movement of nutrients from agricultural fields.
A forest management plan is a site specific plan developed for a client,
which addresses one or more resource concerns on land where forestryrelated conservation activities or practices will be planned and applied.
A feed management plan is a farm-specific documented plan developed for
a client who addresses manipulation and control of the quantity and quality
of available nutrients, feedstuffs, and/or additives fed to livestock and
poultry.

Integrated Pest
Management
“Conservation Activity Plan
(CAP) – Planning” or
“Organic Initiative” or
“MRBI”
Integrated pest management (IPM) is an ecosystem-based strategy that is a
sustainable approach to manage pests using a combination of techniques
such as chemical tools biological control, habitat manipulation, and
modification of cultural practices and use of resistant varieties.
118
Irrigation Water
Management Plan
“Conservation Activity Plan
(CAP) – Planning” or
“Organic Initiative” or
“MRBI”
The objective of irrigation water management (IWM) is to control the
volume, frequency, and rate of water for efficient irrigation. Measurements
of soil moisture, plant water use, and climate provide feedback to decide
when to irrigate, and how much water to apply.
122
Agricultural Energy
Management Plan –
Headquarters
“FY14 On-Farm Energy”
An agricultural energy management plan – headquarters (AgEMP) is a
detailed documentation of energy-consuming components and practices of
the current operation, the previous year’s on-farm energy consumption, and
the strategy by which the producer will explore and address their on-farm
energy conservation concerns, objectives, and opportunities.
124
Agricultural Energy
Management Plan –
Landscape
“FY14 On-Farm Energy”
A landscape energy plan is a detailed report/audit documenting the energy
consuming components and practices of the current operation’s on-farm
field energy consumption involved in the cropland, pasture/hayland, range,
“Conservation Activity Plan

“Conservation Activity Plan
(CAP) – Planning” or
“Organic Initiative” or
“LLPI”
A grazing management plan is a site-specific plan, developed with a client to
address one or more resource concerns on land where grazing related
activities or practices will be applied.
A prescribed burning plan is a site-specific plan developed with a client that
addresses one or more resource concerns on land through the use of fire.
and woodland activities with recommended strategies to conserve energy
resources.
“Conservation Activity Plan
(CAP) – Planning” or
“Organic Initiative” or
“MRBI”
The objective of drainage water management (DWM) is to control soil water
table elevations and the timing of water discharges from subsurface or
surface agricultural drainage systems, allowing the opportunity for crop use
of the subsurface water and nutrients.
138
Conservation Plan
Supporting Organic
Transition
“FY14 Organic Transition”
A “Conservation Plan Supporting Organic Transition” is a conservation
activity plan documenting decisions by producers/growers who agree to
implement a system of conservation practices which assist the producer to
transition from conventional farming or ranching systems to an organic
production system.
142
Fish and Wildlife Habitat
Plan
“Conservation Activity Plan
(CAP) – Planning” or
“Organic Initiative”
A fish and wildlife habitat plan is a site-specific plan developed with a client
who is ready to plan and implement conservation activities or practices with
consideration for fish and wildlife habitat.
146
Pollinator Habitat Plan
“Conservation Activity Plan
(CAP) – Planning” or
“Organic Initiative”
A pollinator habitat enhancement plan is a site-specific conservation plan
developed for a client that addresses the improvement, restoration,
enhancement, expansion of flower-rich habitat that supports native and/or
managed pollinators.
154
IPM Herbicide Resistant
Weed Conservation Plan
“Conservation Activity Plan
(CAP) – Planning” or
“Organic Initiative”
Integrated pest management herbicide resistance weed conservation plan is
a plan with emphasis on modifying herbicide use for suppressing weeds on
cropland.
