Unfortunately animal manure can negatively impact water and air quality if not handled properly.

Providing resources to help protect water quality is a priority for UNL Extension. Resources are designed for:

  • Producers
  • Advisors (CCA's)
  • Professionals seeking to obtain or maintain operating permits
