Environmental Services Program The Goal:
To make a positive contribution to the environment and, at the same time, increase the productivity and profitability of cattle operations.
The Program:
The Environmental Services Program is available to North Dakota Beef producers, including cow-calf operators, backgrounders, finishers and stockers.
Cattlemen voluntarily participate in this confidential, obligation-free program.
The Process:
Requesting an assessment is simple and confidential, plus the producer is under no obligation to make suggested changes.
* Cattlemen contact the ND Stockmen's Association.
* The environmental services director schedules an on-site appointment.
* The director visits with the producer and evaluates the site.
* After the assessment, the director may conclude no changes, or only management practice alterations are necessary.
* If the director determines a problem, he will recommend solutions to improve the environmental soundness of the operation.
* The director also aids the cattleman in filing the appropriate paperwork, seeking cost-share assistance and identifying qualified resource people (engineers, contractors, etc.
