Land applicators training field dayNebraska A field day in Scottsbluff, 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. The workshop is scheduled for Sept. 9 from 9:30 a.m. until 3 p.m. Morning sessions will take place at UNL's Knorr-Holden Corn Plots on Experiment Farm Road north of Scottsbluff. From the junction of Highways 26 and 71 on the northwest corner of Scottsbluff, go almost 4 miles north on Highway 71, then 1 mile west on Experiment Farm Road. The plot is at the entrance to the old Veterinary Diagnostic Lab. The afternoon program will take place in the Bluestem Room at the Panhandle Research and Extension Center. Pre-registration is necessary by Sept. 5. For the all-day event, a $30 fee per farm will be charged plus a $10 fee for each participant to cover local costs including lunch. There will be no fee for those who attend only the recertification section of the workshop. This workshop is sponsored by UNL Extension CNMP Team, which is dedicated to helping livestock and crop producers better utilize our states manure resources for agronomic and environmental benefits. For additional information and planning tools for managing manure nutrients, visit http://cnmp.unl.edu. The field day/classroom land application training workshop will help livestock producers implement the nutrient management planning requirements of Nebraska's Department of Environmental Quality regulations and increase the economic value of manure. Those who participate for the entire day will receive Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality land application training certification. Those that only attend in the afternoon (from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.) and have previously attended a Land Application Training event will receive recertification. 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 are also encouraged to attend. For additional information, contact UNL extension educator Tom Holman at 308-632-1480. 9/8/08 Date: 9/3/08
