Hello Dairy Producers!
The CA Department of Food and Ag has opened applications for its
Alternative Manure Management Program (AMMP)
. All dairies can apply for up to $750,000 to help implement practices that reduce methane emissions. Practices might include:
·
Manure separators and other equipment to pull out and dry or compost manure solids
·
Fencing or other infrastructure to help get cows onto pasture and out of the barn more often
·
Conversion from flush to scrape systems
·
Building a compost bedded pack barn
Come find out if this program is right for your operation and get free help with your application:
Tuesday, 1/29/19, 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. (open hours)
USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, Petaluma Field Office - "Mystic” Room
We’ll have great folks on hand to answer questions and get your application started.
