Our number one priority in working with the agricultural community is to protect water quality and conserve our natural resources. We utilize a number of tools to accomplish this goal. |
|
Comprehensive Nutrient Management Plan: |
|
SWCD provides written plans to assist farms that fall within priority criteria to meet NYS Department of Environmental Conservation Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation (CAFO) regulations, USDA Environmental Quality Incentive Program (EQIP) requirements, or other needs of the farm.

Agricultural Environmental Management (AEM): |
|
SWCD provides tiered planning assistance to farms allowing them to determine the environmental concerns which need to be addressed for their operation. CONTACT: LEVI RUDD, 782-2749 or lrudd@centralny.twcbc.com |
|
Agricultural Non Point Source Grant Program: |
