The Financial and Nutrient Reduction Tool ( FiNRT) is an ACPF-compatible tool that provides information about estimated costs and nitrate reduction outcomes from ACPF-generated conservation scenarios. FiNRT offers conservation planners the ability to examine opportunities and tradeoffs regarding BMPs more effectively on the landscape and offers information about potential outcomes from various conservation scenarios.
