Manure Management
Register here for the next workshop in our Manure Management Workshop series!
This workshop will be focused on composting for small scale livestock producers!
The Manure Management Project
In 2020, the PCCD received a grant from the USDA to develop a comprehensive program about manure management for small farms and livestock producers.
The objective of this project is to bring education and awareness to manure management. Manure can contribute to the pollution of wetlands and waterways and has the potential to become a nuisance. Proper management can help avoid these problems to the benefit of the producer and the community.
As a part of this project, the Plymouth County Conservation District will be planning three workshop, as well as working as part of a partnership with the NRCS to provide technical assistance.
