Animal waste management practices help to manage manure and other agricultural wastes. The practices are designed to reduce or prevent degradation of the soil and water resources. Systems are planned to eliminate discharge of pollutants to surface or groundwater and to recycle waste products back onto the land through correct soil application.
The following state cost-share practices are designed to address this concern:
Collect, control and manage agricultural waste, manure and litter from beef production operations to protect water and air quality and provide plant nutrients on agricultural land.
Collect, control and manage agricultural waste, manure and litter from dairy production operations to protect water and air quality and provide plant nutrients on agricultural land.
Collect, control and manage poultry litter from poultry production operations to protect water and air quality and provide plant nutrients on agricultural land.
Collect, control and manage agricultural waste from swine production operations to protect water and air quality and provide plant nutrients on agricultural land.
