Manure Management Plan Writing Assistance Available

Warren County Conservation District staff are available to walk you through the steps of writing your own Manure Management Plan (MMP). Call 814-726-1441 to make an appointment.

Staff members can perform the necessary calculations to determine if a MMP will work for you, or if you are in need of a Nutrient Management Plan (NMP). Come ready with your current animal numbers, crop rotations (if any), and how many acres you have available for spreading manure (aka "spreadable acres”). If we’re not able to help you complete the whole plan in the time available, we are confident you will have all of the information you need to complete the plan at home; and of course we’ll be available for questions after your appointment. MMP’s help to manage the manure produced on your property and give your crops or pastures the nutrients they need to thrive. If you land-apply manure, having a MMP is also required by Pennsylvania State Law.

2026 Workshop: Conservation On Your Farm

Event Summary

Thank You to Our Sponsors

On January 28, 2026, the Warren County Conservation District hosted a “Conservation On Your Farm” workshop for local farmers and landowners. The topics included grazing, riparian buffers, nutrient management, cover crops, soil health and sampling. The speakers were Genny Christ and Dana Flowers from Penn State Extension, Lisa Blazure from Stroud Water Research Center and Scott Heckman from Scotts, LLC. Four local farmers of various backgrounds served on a farmer panel to answer questions from the audience about grazing, cover crops, and stream buffers. The attendance for the workshop included 45 farmers/landowners and four high school students.
