Staff at the Iowa Manure Management Action Group (IMMAG) is developing a new resource for crop and livestock farmers around the state.

“This valuable tool comes in response to the continued need to provide information on regulations, best management practices, neighbor relations and sources of additional information for people who produce and apply manure as crop nutrients,” explains Angela Rieck-Hinz of the Iowa State University Agronomy Department.
