USDA-NRCS Encourages Continued Application to Confined Animal Operation Initiative

NRCS will typically cost-share half of the cost of conservation practices
such as:

* Manure storage
* Treatment, such as composting and other forms of digesting
* Manure transfer
* Storm water control features, such as berms and diversions
* Nutrient management
* Irrigation practices
* Land treatments , such as manure runoff control

To apply for this special EQIP initiative, dairy producers and other
animal feeding operators are encouraged to visit their local NRCS office. And when used as a carrier or bulking
agent, it ensures more even distribution. After all, sidewalks and driveways
don't need water.
