Reviewed report by J. Ten Eyck recommending approval due to accident and illness. Nutrient Management, Field Application, and Storage , was reviewed. The revised draft was approved by the AEM Steering Committee and presented to the State Committee for final approval. The list of projects was recommended for approval. Projects with scores of 2.2 or above should be funded.
Incremental funding is available and has some flexibility.
J. Wildeman and R. Zimmerman will be meeting on this issue. B. Chamberlain recommended considering the strategic plan along with the MOA with the full committee. It was recommended that someone outside the State Committee facilitate a Strategic Plan Committee with each advisory member assigning someone from their staff to write the plan. The MOA was reviewed. B. Chamberlain expressed the need for further discussion of this topic with full membership present and therefore moved to table this for the next meeting.
