Including the Neighbours in Nutrient Management Plans

August 29, 2018

Your farm has a nutrient management plan, but does it include your neighbours?

A larger-scale plan is a great idea for intense livestock neighbourhoods that struggle to use manure efficiently. It also ensures nutrients stay in the field and out of tiles and waterways, says OMAFRA field crop sustainability specialist Christine Brown.

In this interview with RealAgriculture’s Bernard Tobin, Brown shares her views on how livestock and cash croppers can connect to move manure to fields where it is most needed. The concept is not new, but she believes the time is right for a community program given Ontario’s growing focus on nutrient management and the need to ensure excess nutrients don’t find their way to water courses.

The pilot project is run by the Thames River Phosphorous Reduction Collaborative and is expected to last for 3 years.
