Young farmers in Pennsylvania and anyone else interested in learning about compliance to certain agricultural programs will have an opportunity to learn about them at upcoming workshops.
The York County Conservation District and Penn State Cooperative Extension will be hosting a number of meetings and workshops to go over requirements for Manure Management and Ag Erosion/Conservation plan regulations, according to WHPTV, a CBS affiliate. These plans are designed to help agricultural and animal operators manage the resources on their land and prevent run-off into waterways.
Some of the specific topics that will be held starting on February 28 and ending March 20 will include the responsibility and role landowners must play in regards to water quality, what roles the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and the York County Conservation District play in enforcing compliance and how to get help with creating a plan and putting it into practice.
Founded in 1938, the York County Conservation District is dedicated to helping locals deal with environmental and natural resource concerns. The entity accomplishes this by "providing conservation education, technical services, and financial assistance, in order to enable the citizens of York County be good stewards of our natural resources," according to its website.
