Jefferson County Conservation District Agricultural Conservation Technician/Nutrient Management Specialist Megan Whitlatch provides an overview of recent changes to the Manure Management Guide.

Jefferson County Conservation District recently held a Farmer Workshop in Brookville, PA. The workshop included presentations on manure management guidelines, improving soil health, and pond management. Each presentation reviewed the impacts of nonpoint source pollution and conservation practices that keep manure, sediment, and pesticides out of our waterways.

Financial and other support for this project is provided by the Pennsylvania Association of Conservation Districts, Inc. through a grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection under Section 319 of the Clean Water Act, administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
