The Extension Livestock Environment program’s goal is to provide education, technical assistance, and applied research answers to all stakeholders in Montana’s livestock industry.  This program provides ongoing outreach on animal and other organic wastes, manure storage and treatment systems, land application and nutrient management, regulatory compliance, non-point source water pollution, air emissions, and recommended environmental best management practices.

The program is effective through good communication and collaborative programming with key organizations and agencies including the USDA - Natural Resource Conservation Services, various commodity associations, MT Department of Natural Resources and Conservation, Montana Association of Conservation Districts, and the MT Department of Environmental Quality.

Technical assistance is provided as requested through the county delivery system, direct correspondence, and site visits.  For further information browse this website, contact your local county agent, or contact Mr. Bass.  Additional related topics and contacts are linked in the left hand column of this page; the right hand column contains direct links and resources.
