What Does an NMS Cost?
One of the first questions farmers ask is about cost. Here's what you should know about the investment involved in an NMS.
It Depends on Your Operation
NMS costs vary based on the size and complexity of your operation, the type of livestock, storage requirements, and other factors unique to your farm.
The Cost of NOT Getting One
Without an approved NMS, your barn build or expansion can be delayed indefinitely. Delays can cost you a full growing season — which is far more expensive than the NMS itself.
