2023 Manure Training Locations and Dates

Listen to the podcast:

The Animal Manure Management team has announced the locations and dates for land application training in 2023. These sessions will take place in February and March.

Pre-registration is required and will cost $75 per operation. Multiple people may attend from an operation under the $75 operation fee, but all individuals must be registered. Pre-register at water.unl.edu/lat.

Sessions will include an update on regulations and discussion on how to best use manure on your operation. Anyone is welcome. Crop farmers and livestock operations will learn useful information to apply to their operations.

Sessions will meet requirements for land application training. The initial land application training certification requires participation in the full workshop (6 - 7 hours). Afternoon sessions will meet needs for recertification. This training requires participation in the 2.5 - 3-hour session at a minimum. Participants who only need recertification may choose to attend the full event if they wish.

If you are unsure of your certification status, contact Leslie Johnson (402-584-3818) or Lindsey Roark (402-471-4233). If you are unsure if your operation needs certification, please refer to the table at Manure Rules not just for Large CAFOs.

The workshops are sponsored by the Nebraska Extension Animal Manure Management Team, which is dedicated to helping livestock and crop producers better utilize manure resources for agronomic and environmental benefits.

For more information and to stay up to date on locations and times, go to water.unl.edu/lat. Direct questions about the workshops can be sent to Leslie Johnson at Leslie.johnson@unl.edu or 402-584-3818.
