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 UNL Water.

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.

Session dates:

• Feb. 15 — Norfolk – Initial: 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Recertification: afternoon only
• Feb. 22 — Lexington – Initial: 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Recertification: afternoon only
• March 1 — Alliance – Initial: 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Recertification: afternoon only
• March 7 — West Point – Initial: 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Recertification: afternoon only
• March 14 — O’Neill – Initial: 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Recertification: afternoon only
• March 21 — Beatrice – Initial: 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Recertification: afternoon only
• March 28 — Columbus – Initial: 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Recertification: afternoon only

Sessions will meet requirements for land application training. The initial land application training certification requires participation in the full workshop (six to seven hours). Afternoon sessions will meet needs for recertification. This training requires participation in the 2.5- to 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.
