Agricultural Consultation and Training
Leads to Voluntary Compliance

The Agricultural Consultation and Training program (ACT) is an innovative compliance assistance program designed to assist farmers, ranchers and others involved in agriculture. Act responds to requests from the agricultural community for on-site visits providing compliance in a non-regulatory mode.

ACT provides assistance for:

Livestock and Crop Conservation Grant Program

Speciality Crop Block Grant Program

Pesticide and Worker Protection

Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation

Agricultural Conservation Education Program

Air Quality - Agricultural PM10 Best Management Practices

ACT is not affiliated with on-going enforcement activity within the Department and detected violations are not made available to regulatory personnel except in cases of imminent danger where human health and welfare are concerned.

After visiting a site, ACT personnel provides the requestor with a detailed evaluation report tailored specifically to the requested subject. The report describes information discussed during the visit and offers corrective recommendations, if applicable.
