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.
