Swine Waste Guidesheets
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Drs. Charles Fulhage and Donald Pfost will develop a series of manuscripts on swine manure management. The Extension and Agricultural Information Department of the College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources will edit and publish the manuscripts, using the standard format for water quality guidesheets.
University Extension staff will submit copies of the draft manuscripts to MDNR-WPCP, MDNR's Technical Assistance Program (TAP) and the NRCS for review and comment. TAP will review manuscripts for educational criteria. NRCS technical staff will review and comment on soil properties, geological properties, waste-management engineering design criteria and nutrient management. WPCP technical staff will review manuscripts for consistencies with MDNR's recommended Best Management Practices and animal waste management regulatory requirements. WPCP Planning staff will monitor subgrant agreement criteria.
Thirty-five hundred or more copies of each guidesheet will be printed and distributed. MDNR will receive 1,000 copies and NRCS 500 copies for distribution. University Extension will distribute copies through county extension centers and the publications center. The first printing will be distributed free of charge. Subsequent printings will follow standard publication and cost recovery procedures.
OBJECTIVES
The primary objective is to publish a series of swine manure management guidesheets and provide for distribution through the University Extension network, MDNR, Natural Resources Conservation Services (NRCS) and swine industry outlets.
Another objective is to incorporate the swine manure management series into on-going extension education programs targeting the swine industry statewide.
