UW–Madison Division of Extension and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources are jointly hosting a set of eight in-person/virtual workshops for CAFO permit holders, key employees, livestock producers, their employees and agronomic and engineering consultants around Wisconsin in late January / early February.
Designed for producers and their key employees with (or considering) WPDES CAFO permits, their consultants, and agency staff, the workshops will focus on several themes:
- Preventing common issues with permit applications
- Nutrient management policy updates
- Engineering updates
- Permit compliance reminders
In addition to DNR staff addressing these and other topics, each location will feature a farmer/agronomist panel focusing on manure hauling/recordkeeping and a research update on addressing common cause of manure spills.
Two of the workshop locations (Green Bay and Mauston) will feature separate morning sessions for engineering consultants focusing on more technical information.
Registration (for the virtual, regular and/or the engineering session) is $46 in advance and $56 after each event’s pre-registration deadline. Registration for all locations can be completed online at http://go.wisc.edu/CAFO2026.
