UW–Madison Division of Extension and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources are jointly hosting a series of six in-person workshops for CAFO permit holders, key employees, livestock producers, their employees and agronomic and engineering consultants around Wisconsin in February.
Designed for producers with (or considering) WPDES CAFO permits and their consultants, the workshops will focus on several themes:
- Manure innovations and management farmer/consultant panel
- Considerations when adding a manure treatment or processing system
- Process changes for renewing and modifying permits
- Nutrient management planning, with a focus on manure hauling audits and managing manure in sensitive areas and soils– Karst areas – (NR151 in northeast Wisconsin) and coarse soils (outside northeast Wisconsin).
In addition to DNR staff addressing these topics, Victor Cabrera will demonstrate the Dairy Enviro-Money tool and regional and state DNR staff will be available to answer specific questions during the networking opportunities.
