Animal Waste Management
Extension programs provide technical assistance, tools, and training to farmers and small-acreage landowners to ensure that animal waste is handled with Best Management Practices (BMPs) and alternative technologies are implemented in their animal operations to protect or improve water quality. Extension staff also work with local communities, state agencies, and federal partners in developing educational programs that help stakeholders achieve their goals. Farmers and citizens learn how to assess and prevent contamination risks due to animal waste. Other Extension programs are working to put together producers of manure with those in need of manure (animal waste resource trading opportunities) in order to best utilize this resource and prevent contamination of surface or ground water.
These efforts are resulting in more animal waste being stored, handled, and applied to land appropriately thereby improving and protecting water quality.
