SNAP-Plus
Snap-Plus is a Microsoft Windows¨ based Nutrient Management Planning software program designed for the preparation of nutrient management plans in accordance with Wisconsin's Nutrient Management Standard Code 590.
Snap-Plus will calculate:
- Crop nutrient (N, P2O5, K2O) recommendations for all fields on a farm taking into account legume N and manure nutrient credits consistent with University of Wisconsin recommendations
- A RUSLE2-based soil loss assessment that will allow producers to determine whether fields which receive fertilizer or manure applications meet tolerable soil loss (T) requirements.
- A rotational Phosphorus Index value for all fields as required for using the P Index for phosphorus management.
- A four-year P Balance as required for using soil test P as the criteria for phosphorus management.
Wisconsin/Minnesota Extension Weather and Modeling
Wisconsin Cooperative Extension and the Minnesota Extension Service bring you a variety of weather and modeling products
designed to meet farmers' increasing demand for data to drive economically viable, environmentally sound agricultural
practices. Data offered here are derived from sensors on the ground as well as in space.

Web-Services Based Automated Weather Data Collector
In cooperation with a business partner, UW soil scientists are maintaining a set of automated weather stations at test farms. ASIG Software created a database and automated collection mechanisms to tap the vendor's store of weather data and turn it into a local database suitable for simulation modeling.GIS/Physiology Data Collection for the National Park Service
In cooperation with UW's Land Information and Computer Graphics Facility, ASIG Software is developing a prototype GIS/database package for the National Park Service. Using biomedical monitors and GPS units on park rangers' bicycles, the system will allow the Park Service to track locations, predict effort profiles over terrain, and monitor the rangers' safety.Soil Science 132 Instructional-Support Application
Squeezed between diminishing instructional resources on one side and large class sizes on the other, Professor Bill Bland decided
to use technology to extend the leverage of the instructors available. ASIG Software wrote an application for him which went live in
Spring semester 2006, and allows students to post online assignments as well as offering instructors a streamlined means of grading
those and other course assignments. Some of its features include automated checking of URLs include in assignments and direct export
to the Learn @ UW online grading system.
