What must be done if a nutrient balance sheet is not required due to low manure import?

If a nutrient balance sheet is not required due to low manure import, the situation indicates that there is a lower likelihood of nutrient loading within the farming operation. Therefore, no additional actions such as creating a balance sheet are mandated in this scenario. This means that the farmer can continue with their management practices without the burden of compiling a detailed nutrient balance sheet, as the nutrient inputs from manure are minimal and do not pose significant environmental risks.

In cases where low manure import is consistent, the focus can remain on monitoring and maintaining other farming practices without the extra step of ensuring a nutrient balance sheet is completed. This simplification allows the farmer to allocate resources and attention to other management activities that may need more urgent consideration, supporting overall farm management efficiency.
