July 13-14 in Chambersburg, PA, the North American Manure Expo will offer networking opportunities, education sessions and tours to farmers, manure applicators and other nutrient management professionals. On the first day, attendees can choose between two tours: a stream tour that explores the impacts of excess nutrients on a local stream; and a robotic dairy and new poultry layer tour. The layer farm is a rare opportunity to view the barn without any biosecurity concerns. Sign up now – space on these in-demand tours are limited and pre-registration is required.
