How do I import data from the USDA-NRCS Customer Service Toolkit into MMP?
• Create a new plan in MMP for the conservation plan’s state. • Use Import File Maker on the Tools dialog’s Custom panel to make an import file from the conservation plan’s data. Typically this data is in a file named consplan.dbf in the customer’s Plan_Maps folder. Import File Maker will suggest a name for the import file it creates (for example, consplan_import.dbf) you can use this file name or enter your own. (Tip: Import File Maker attempts to support conservation plan files from both CST v.2 and v.3, but will warn you if the number of columns in the selected file isn’t what it expects. If you’re sure you’ve selected a valid dBASE plan file, you can ignore this warning.) • If necessary, edit the import file in Excel to make sure the field and subfield names are what you want to use in MMP. By default, Import File Maker uses a field’s tract number and Common Land Unit (CLU) field number as the MMP field ID and a field’s Toolkit Land Unit (LU) field number as the MMP subfield ID. Yo
