SnapPlus 18 Is Here!

SnapPlus 18 builds on the features of 17.1 with full support for the 2015 590 Nutrient Management standard, great new features like Nutrient Systems, better use of spreadable acres to calculate manure applied for WPDES-permitted farms, new crops, and much more. See the What’s New page for details.

MAINTENANCE RELEASE:
The SnapPlus team is releasing version 18.1, to fix several issues with 18.0. Three of these problems caused incorrect results or could interfere with normal operation, so we recommend that all users upgrade to version 18.1.
Those problems were:

• • Would not import daily records for fertilizer and lime in some instances.
  • Incorrectly flagged N overapplication for some double crops
  • In some cases, the SnapMaps “import to SnapPlus” function could fail to properly update field data
