Description: This booklet is part of a series of livestock information books developed to help farmers understand the implications of the Nutrient Management Act, 2002 and the associated regulations and protocols. The act addresses how nutrients, including manure are managed while they are stored and applied to farmland for the purpose of growing agricultural crops. It uses the example of riding stable that has decided to expand from 30 box-stalls to 80 box-stalls by building a new stable and manure storage. It examines the issues that must be considered when completing a nutrient management strategy and/or plan and provides some options for meeting the requirements of the Act.
