We have the manure analyzed. We're using what the crop uptake needs are. I keep these records anyway. None of us have anything to hide. It will make people aware that we've been trying to do what's right and keep the environment safe.
Funds are available for both relocation of manure and for nutrient management planning.
Apply at your local Conservation District office. Applications will be processed by the Nutrient Management Program, and you will be notified on the status of the application. To date, over 26,000 acres of farmland have been enrolled in the development of a Nutrient Management Plan by a private nutrient consultant. These farms will meet regulatory requirements several years before mandated deadlines. The Nutrient Management Relocation Program has assisted in transporting over 2,000 tons of poultry litter for alternative use and land application.
