NRCS works with farmers and ranchers to effectively manage animal waste, not only to keep it out of America's rivers and streams, but also to turn it into a useful commodity.
NRCS can assist livestock producers in developing a Comprehensive Nutrient Management Plan (CNMP). A CNMP addresses nutrient management, land treatment, manure and wastewater storage and handling, and includes considerations for record keeping, feed management, and alternative use strategies.
