Why Should I Care About Water Quality? Clean water is better for me Clean water is better for my livestock

Why Should I Care About Water Quality?

Why Should I Care About Water Quality? Clean water is better for me Clean water is better for my livestock Harmful Algal Blooms Costs money to treat May result in my water system being shut down (Toledo, OH)

Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) Localized incentive to restrict livestock access from water bodies, manage nutrients

How Do We Manage Poo in Kentucky?

Agriculture Water Quality Plans

KY Agriculture Water Quality Act 10+ acres in agriculture or forestry must develop a water quality plan Plan includes Best Management Practices (BMPs) to protect water quality Livestock Crops Pesticides and Fertilizers Farmstead Forestry Streams and Other Waters

How Do Farmers Develop a Plan? Use a web-based tool: www.ca.uky.edu/awqa 2. Use a printed document 3. Get assistance from local Conservation District Also extension programs can help guide producers

Nutrient Management Plans -Nutrients generated - Crops grown plus -Existing soil fertility - Without overloading soils

Cost Share and Financial Assistance Kentucky Soil Erosion and Water Quality Cost Share Program (State cost share) GOAP County Ag Investment Program (CAIP) NRCS Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP)

Cost Share and Financial Assistance NRCS Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP) Managing Poo Project $4 million to put conservation practices on the ground Livestock operations Nearing regulatory compliance enforcement Referral process Contact Amanda Gumbert (Amanda.Gumbert@uky.edu) or Steve Higgins (shiggins@uky.edu)

Associated Issues Help for farmers Conservation District staff Nutrient Management Planner Macy Fawns (macy.fawns@uky.edu)
