Agricultural Assistance
Agricultural Assistance
Agriculture is one of the most important industries in Adams County. The Adams County Conservation District provides technical assistance through a variety of programs to help farmers implement best management practices to help improve water quality.
Planning assistance is available to identify resource concerns and develop a plan of action to address those concerns. Assistance is also available for proposed projects that implement planned Best Management Practices from an Agricultural Erosion and Sedimentation Plan, Conservation Plan, Nutrient Management Plan, or a Manure Management Plan that has been developed for an agricultural operation.

Agricultural compliance
All agricultural landowners and operators in Pennsylvania are required by law to have at minimum Ag Erosion and Sediment Control plans and/or Manure Management Plans.
These plans need to be current and accurate and be implemented for you to be in compliance with the Pennsylvania Clean Streams Law. Manure Management Plans don’t need to be submitted and approved, but a MMP needs to be kept on site.
