NDSU Extension Service to Hold Livestock Manure Nutrient Management Workshops

To offer insight regarding the importance of livestock manure nutrient management, the North Dakota State University Extension Service is offering four workshops during March.

“This program is designed to increase the awareness of technical advisers on why livestock manure nutrient management is an important issue,” says Ron Wiederholt, NDSU Carrington Research Extension Center livestock waste management specialist. “These sessions will help people who work with livestock producers understand the basic principles of resource protection and the negatives of nutrient mismanagement.”

General topics include water quality and beneficial use impacts associated with livestock manure, managing livestock manure as a resource, preliminary site reviews using the assessment tool for new or existing animal feeding operations, and management and structural options for improving manure utilization and management.

The workshops are scheduled for the following locations:

  • March 7-8, Devils Lake, Armory meeting room, Memorial Building, 524 4th Ave. N.E.
  • March 9-10, Valley City State University, Regional Tech Center, 415 Winter Show Drive
  • March 14-15, Dickinson State University, North Campus, Room 104, 1679 6th Ave. W.
  • March 16-17, Minot, North Central Research Extension Center, 5400 U.S. Highway 83 S.

All session begin at 10 a.m. the first day and end at noon the second day. The registration fee is $15 per person.
