Meet the Nutrient Management
Plan Writers.
Six meetings around the state have been scheduled
by DATCP for later this summer to update
nutrient management plan writers on the latest
regulatory changes and cost sharing availability
for manure storage and nutrient management
plans. These are not sponsored by the association,
but would be an excellent opportunity to share
your thoughts on what you want planners to
provide your staff. The agenda is the same at each
location.
