Plans needed for Snyder County farmers and ag operations

MIDDLEBURG -- The Snyder County Conservation District wants to remind farmers and agricultural, livestock and equine operations that they need the following plans:

A manure management plan (MMP) or nutrient management plan (NMP) if you produce or utilize manure, and

An agricultural erosion & sedimentation plan (Ag. E&S Plan) or conservation plan if you raise crops or hay or graze pastures.

If you do have these plans, please check if they are up to date and reflect your current level of operation.

If you do not have these plans or are not sure if your plans are sufficient to satisfy Pa. regulatory requirements, call the Conservation District immediately and set up a meeting with Barry Spangler, Agricultural Conservation Technician, at (570) 837-3000, extension 5. Normal office hours are from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
