MANURE MANAGEMENT PITS
Agricultural Nutrient Management
(ANM) Program
The Agricultural Nutrient Management (ANM) Grant Program seeks to
provide financial, educational and technical assistance for livestock
and agricultural land operations and related organizations with
implementing Best Management Practices and such other measures necessary
to prevent or mitigate water pollution. Applicants for ANM grants may
apply for cost assistance of up to $2,500 per year. There is no match
required, however, in-kind services such as labor provided by the
applicant will enhance the application. The majority of the funding will
be used for on-farm projects that address the program objectives.
Funding may also be utilized by organizations for educational projects
This program will provide assistance to horse owners to construct manure
management pits and other projects designed to minimize the impact that
horses have on water sources. This can include such projects as
fencing off ponds and streams and building bridges to cross brooks etc.
Richard Uncles, Director of this Department spoke to the DTR club about
the program and we had a chance to view Jane Mallinson’s manure
management pit. If you are interested in making use of this
