The General Assembly finds that:
(1) Proper application of nutrients is necessary for maximum soil fertility and proper plant growth;
(2) Failure to properly apply nutrients to soil may result in a waste of a valuable resource and may negatively impact waters within the state;
(3) Persons developing soil nutrient plans or applying nutrients to soil should have certain knowledge, skills, and abilities to ensure the proper use of soil nutrients; and
(4) A certification system must be developed to determine that persons certified have the knowledge, skill, and abilities to properly develop nutrient management plans or properly apply soil nutrients.
