State Nutrient Management Plans for Equine Operations
Farmer Training & Certification for Horse Operations
July 20, 22 and August 17, 19, 2010
A wide range of horse operations are required to have nutrient management plans. If your operation generates a gross annual income of $2,500 or more, or has 8,000 pounds or more of live animal weight at the farm, you need a nutrient management plan. Learn the legal and technical components of a nutrient management plan and become certified to develop a state-approved plan for your own farm.
This is an evening course that will meet four times – July 20 and 22 (training), August 17 (exam), and August 19 (plan writing).
