Statewide Manure Transfer - FY 2009

Program Information

Potential environmental concerns regarding the management of animal wastes in Oklahoma's Nutrient Limited Waters (NLW) and Scenic River watersheds resulted in the Statewide Manure Transfer Resource Concern. This funding is limited to counties in the eastern portions of Oklahoma and far western Arkansas.

The project has two primary objectives:

  1. Create an incentive to distribute animal manure to areas of the state that have historically not used animal manure as a fertilizer.
  2. Promotion of a long-term market for animal manure as a fertilizer around the state.

Implementation of this project has the potential to reduce animal manure application in areas where it has traditionally been over-applied and should result in better distribution of these nutrients statewide.

Application Process, Eligibility and Evaluation Criteria

Applications will be accepted on a continuous basis, but only those received by April 1, 2009, will be considered for the initial selections.  Funding selections will be made on or before May 22, 2009, exclusively from those applications received. Applicants may apply by completing the NRCS-CPA-1200 Application Form and Appendix and submit it to their local NRCS Field Service Center.
