Ag Water Quality - colaboration with the KY Dairy Development Council
Author: Tammy Brewster-Barnes
Planning Unit: Agriculture and Natural Resources Programs
Major Program: Ag Water Quality Program
Outcome: Intermediate Outcome
Many undeserved communities, such as Amish and Mennonite, are found in the KY dairy industry. Three workshops were organized around the state, in collaboration with KY Dairy Development Council (KYDDC), and were designed to education these communities about State permitting regulations, the Ag Water Quality Plan (AWQP) and Nutrient Management plans (KYNMP). These community’s members will not accept Federal assistance in preparing required nutrient management plan but they are willing to take my assistance. As a result of these workshops many producers have completed their AWQP and have contacted me for their KYNMP preparation.
