Manure management can be challenging The term "small farm" brings to mind anything from a couple of horses on several acres to a family dairy or feedlot. Despite the varying definitions, all small farms share the common challenge to properly manage a common problem - manure. Specialists from across the United States have scheduled an information session to help small farmers manage manure problems. The hour-long seminar will cover challenges for small farmers, environmental issues and how to develop a nutrient management plan. The national Webcast session is set for Friday, June 20 at 2:30 p.m. EDT. The seminar is hosted by the Livestock and Poultry Environmental Learning Center, part of eXtension, an educational partnership of land-grant colleges across the nation. The Webcast can be accessed at http://connect. extension.iastate.edu/lpelc/ on June 20. The session will officially begin at 2:30 p.m. EDT, but participants can log on as early as 2:15 p.m. EDT.
