Horse Pasture Management

Description
Horse Pasture Management targets small equine operations that do not meet eligibility criteria for federal or state cost-share programs and currently may not participate in government programs. The implementation of agricultural BMPs on land used by equine specifically address pasture and manure management issues that are associated with their horse operations. The practices may include pasture establishment or restoration, manure management, watering troughs, stream fencing, pasture rotation, and sacrifice lots/heavy use areas.

Funding Source
Funding is currently available through the Chesapeake Bay Targeted Watersheds Grant Program awarded to the Maryland Department of Agriculture.
