State and Federal Environmental
Regulations and Programs Assistance Meetings

August 22-25, 2005

The Iowa Pork Producers Association (IPPA) is coordinating a series of producer meetings around the state to share critical information about Iowa's livestock regulations.

Topics include an overview of current and emerging state livestock regulations, as well as a presentation on Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) programs aimed at assisting producers with soil, air and water conservation efforts. Manure Management Plans (MMPs), Comprehensive Nutrient Management Planning (CNMPs) and the Phosphorus Index will also be addressed.

Producers who attend the meeting will be informed on complying with the current Iowa environmental requirements for livestock producers, including new rules on commercial fertilizer recordkeeping for MMPs, new construction permit requirements, and implementing the Phosphorus Index into existing MMPs. Producers will also learn how to participate and obtain funding for NRCS programs, including the Environmental Quality Incentives Program and the Conservation Security Program.

There is no cost to attend the meetings. Time will be allotted for questions during and after the meeting.
