Nutrient Management Farmer Training and Certification Workshops Offered
The Maryland Department of Agriculture (MDA) and University of Maryland Extension (UME) will offer three workshops this winter for farmers throughout the state who want to become certified to write and update nutrient management plans for their own operations. The workshops consist of about 11 hours of classroom lecture and practice in writing plans and are designed for crop operations that use manure and fertilizer. A two-day workshop will be offered in Queen Anne’s County on January 24 and February 6, 2012. A second two-day workshop is scheduled for February 21 and March 6, 2012 in Washington County. The third workshop will take place over the course of four Wednesday evenings beginning February 1 in Montgomery County. To register, call 410-841-5959 or visit www.mda.state.md.us.
