Environmental stewardship is an important part of good farming practice. To see how you're doing and get tips on how you can be more environmentally responsible, check out the new Livestock and Poultry Environmental Stewardship Curriculum, available on searchable CD from MidWest Plan Service. The CD contains 26 lessons covering topics such as animal dietary strategies, manure storage and treatment systems, land application and nutrient management, outdoor air quality technologies, and mortality management.

To learn more about the CD and how it can help you improve your operation, see www.lpes.org.

To order, see www.mwpshq.org, phone 800/562-3618, or e-mail mwps@iastate.edu.
