MIDDLEBURG -- The Snyder County Conservation District will hold a free workshop to show farmers, livestock owners and horse operations how to write their very own manure management plans (MMPs).
The workshop is set for Tuesday, March 12, 2024, at the Snyder Conservation District Office from 6-9 p.m. Participants will leave the workshop with knowledge and information to complete a manure management plan that meets current PA Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) regulations. MMPs are required by any person who raises or boards animals, produces or receives animal manure, regardless of animal type (equine, poultry, livestock, exotic animals, etc.) or number.
Animal operations are encouraged to start working on their plans as soon as possible. A demonstration on how to use PAOneStop (Penn State's web-based mapping site) to create MMP maps is also planned.
Please register or ask questions by calling Barry Spangler, SCCD Ag. Conservation Technician, at (570) 837-3000, ext. 5 (agtech@snydercd.org), by Friday, March 8.
