Land application training field days Sept. 6 and 11
Nebraska Two field days across Nebraska sponsored by University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension will provide livestock and crop producers with the latest information on how to turn manure nutrients into better crop yields while protecting the environment. Two classroom/field day land application training workshops will help livestock producers increase the economic value of manure and use the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality's nutrient management planning requirements. Participants will receive NDEQ land application training certification. Livestock producers with livestock waste control facility permits received or renewed since April 1998 must be certified. The farm representative identified on the permit application must complete an approved training every five years. Farm personnel responsible for land application of manure also are encouraged to attend. Operations that already have attended a training session, but will need recertification, should wait until this winter when an advanced training certification class will be offered. For more information, contact the UNL extension educators listed below: --Sept. 6, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Scottsbluff, UNL Panhandle Research and Extension Center, Tom Holman 308-632-1480 --Sept. 11, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., West Point, Cuming County Courthouse, Larry Howard, 402-372-6006 Preregistration is encouraged for all workshops. A $30 fee per farm will be charged for the land application training workshops plus a $10 fee for each participant to cover local costs and lunch. These workshops are sponsored by the UNL Extension CNMP Team which is dedicated to helping livestock and crop producers better use the state's manure resources for agronomic and environmental benefits.
