The York County Conservation District (YCCD) will offer a free Writing Your Own Manure Management Plan Workshop on Friday, March 6, from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The workshop will take place at YCCD's new location at York County at Pleasant Valley Road Building, 2401 Pleasant Valley Road, York.
All farms that generate or apply manure to fields must have a Manure Management Plan (MMP) to be in compliance with Pennsylvania state law. This includes anyone who has horse or hobby farms. The PA Department of Environmental Protection is doing compliance inspections in York County.
The goal of the workshop is for participants to complete their MMP in one day. Attendees will receive a copy of the updated "Manure Management Manual," and the presentations will include best manure management practices and guide participants through a step-by-step process for developing their MMP. Time will be allotted throughout the presentations for one-on-one assistance.
The event is free, but registration is required by Friday, Feb. 28. Registration is available by calling 717-840-7430. Light refreshments will be provided. A lunch break will be available for participants to get lunch on their own.
