Manure Management Strategies -- Help Your Horse, Help the Farm AND Protect Our Water

Did you know that each horse makes about 50 pounds of manure EVERY DAY? Nutrients in manure and urine can get into ground- and surface waters, potentially making them undrinkable. Both nationally and internationally, water quality is becoming a very serious issue. The good news is that properly managing manure and pastures is neither difficult nor impossibly expensive. This webinar will explain how to properly utilize best management practices (BMPs), allowing a farm to flourish and stay productive, and protecting our water, a most precious resource. BMPs are practical, cost-effective and science-based techniques that may already be in use on your farm or boarding facility. Watch this webinar to find out how to keep the horse, the farm and the water at its best.
