Nutrient management planning for livestock operations that are large enough to be required to
obtain a water quality discharge permit (aka CAFOs) is more complicated than for other farms.
This is both because of additional NM requirements and restrictions and the large number of
fields that are part of these operations. We will propose options for simplifying CAFO NM
planning, with a focus on the following areas:
- Planning for SWQMA buffers and other no-manure areas,
- Record-keeping for manure applications, manure analysis, and yields,
- Providing farms with clear management direction through custom reports.
