Manure Management

Project Updates

• Conservation Innovation Grants (CIG) information. Many grants focus on animal waste.

 Conservation Innovation Grants (CIG) is a voluntary program intended to stimulate the development and adoption of innovative conservation approaches and technologies while leveraging Federal investment in environmental enhancement and protection, in conjunction with agricultural production.

• FPPC (Farm Pilot Project Coordination) information. All projects are working with animal waste.

FPPC’s specific mandate is to oversee the implementation and administration of a Pilot Project Program to demonstrate economically viable innovative treatment technology systems that reduce the nutrient content of the waste stream from Animal Feeding Operations by 75 percent or greater. Funding for approved Pilot Projects comes from monies appropriated by Congress and overseen by the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS).  The FPPC Inc. quarterly reports and final project reports are available on the web site.
