Record Keeping

Proper record keeping is crucial for agricultural success, especially in soil management. It involves various forms of documentation, including field maps, soil and manure testing, and crop yield data. Keeping accurate records helps document improvements, monitor compliance with DEQ and CAFO requirements, and informs better management decisions. By tracking nutrient management plans and built-in records, farmers can fine-tune their practices in response to ongoing assessments. Utilize available software to streamline data management and enhance farm productivity.
