The Nursery Management Information System (NMIS) at J. Herbert Stone Nursery Using MS Access

The Nursery Management Information System (NMIS) was designed in the 1970s to support the nursery program at 9 USDA Forest Service nurseries by tracking the seed collection and storage,sowing of seed,culturing of seedlings to specific size criteria, seedling inventory, seedling lifting, grading and culling, packing of seedlings for storage, and shipment and distribution of seedlings to Forests and Districts for planting. NMIS consists of a source (seed) subsystem and a product (seedling) subsystem. The product subsystem works with both bareroot and container products without a need for separate forms and reports for each. Currently an Oracle ® version of the source subsystem is in use at 5 of the 6 remaining Forest Service nurseries and 1 seed extractory. J.Herbert Stone Nursery has been using a MS Access ® version of NMIS since October 2000.
