  1. Which agency administers the federal Comprehensive Nutrient Management Plan (CNMP) program for large animal feeding operations?

    Answer: USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS)

    USDA-NRCS administers the CNMP program, providing technical and financial assistance to confined animal feeding operations.

  2. A fertilizer application record shows a rate of 200 lbs/acre of 46-0-0. What is the nitrogen applied per acre?

    Answer: 92 lbs N

    46-0-0 is 46% nitrogen, so 200 lbs × 0.46 = 92 lbs of actual nitrogen per acre.

  3. Under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA), facilities storing anhydrous ammonia above threshold quantities must report to which entity?

    Answer: Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC)

    EPCRA requires facilities with threshold quantities of hazardous chemicals like anhydrous ammonia to report to the Local Emergency Planning Committee.

  4. Which record element helps prove a CFA applicator complied with setback requirements from water bodies?

    Answer: Field maps or GPS coordinates showing application boundaries

    Field maps or GPS coordinates documenting application boundaries demonstrate that required setbacks from water bodies were observed.

  5. If a state requires a Nutrient Management Plan (NMP) for a farm, who is typically authorized to write or certify it?

    Answer: Licensed nutrient management planner or certified agronomist

    NMPs must typically be written or certified by a licensed nutrient management planner or certified crop adviser meeting state qualification standards.

  6. The term 'slow-release' on a fertilizer label is regulated because it affects which consumer decision?

    Answer: Expected nutrient release timing and application rate

    Slow-release claims affect how applicators calculate rates and timing, so regulators require the claim to meet defined performance standards.

  7. A CFA license renewal is denied due to continuing education (CE) hour deficiency. What must the applicator do to reinstate the license?

    Answer: Complete the required CE hours and reapply

    Applicators must fulfill the outstanding continuing education requirements and then submit a new or corrected renewal application.
