Manure School

 Well this is certainly awkward at this time of the day but I want to talk to ag people about a manure school. How do you manage your manure. Politicians in Washington, you may want to listen up. The University of Idaho Extension will host the 2010 Nutrient Management Conference on March 9 at the Lincoln County Community Center in Shoshone. This is an annual opportunity for researchers, crop advisors, dairy producers and government agency representatives to identify cost-effective nutrient-management practices that optimize yields and protect the environment. 

Amber Moore, Extension soil specialist in Twin Falls and conference coordinator reports that one aspect of the conference will deal with a problem common to dairies and CAFO operations. 

The school that also offers crop nutrient information will be held from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at 201 S. Beverly in Shoshone.
