The Agricultural Best Management Practices solution delivers a set of capabilities that help you enroll participants in best management practices (BMP) programs, verify those participants, and analyze trends in BMP programs.
In this topic, you will learn how to use the solution by assuming the role of a user and performing the following workflows.
Note:
Use your organization's data or configured apps to follow these workflows.Manage BMP programs
The BMP Enrollment Survey can be used by program managers to enroll agricultural producers in BMP programs. The BMP Verification Survey verifies that best management practices are being followed, while the BMP Enrollment Status dashboard can be used to track participation and understand participation trends.
