The Nutrient Management Relocation Program is a cost assistance program designed to assist in transporting nutrients (manure) from areas of excess to areas in need of nutrients. Many farms are dealing with excess manure, namely poultry litter and need to export the manure in order to balance crop nutrient demands. The Delaware Nutrient Management Program provides financial assistance for the transporting cost of transporting excess Delaware manure to alternative use projects or farms in need of nutrients.
You can move the manure yourself by contacting a broker of alternative use. Any farmer, person or business can apply for assistance as long as they take responsibility for meeting transport standards and follow the Relocation Program Guidelines.
To apply for cost assistance you must submit an application to the Delaware Nutrient Management Program. Once your application has been approved, you will receive a letter of approval and a Claim for Payment form. After completion of the manure transport, you must send in the Claim for Payment form and the weights slips for payment. Payment of cost assistance is contingent upon funding availability.
