Idaho’s Department of Environmental Quality (IDEQ) in partnership with the Idaho State Department of Agriculture (ISDA) is offering grant opportunities for the 2025 state fiscal year. The goal of the grant program is to support environmental improvement programs on confined animal feeding operations. The grant funds are dedicated for environmental improvements to soil, water, and air quality with an emphasis on manure and nutrient management. This year, Idaho’s legislature has appropriated $ 2 million from the state general fund to support this program in the 2025 fiscal year. Grant Program Progress Over the past two years, the state of Idaho’s CAFO Improvement Fund has granted nearly $10 million dollars towards 25 projects. Eight of these projects are 100% complete and operational. Because of these successes, the state of Idaho has extended the CAFO Improvement grant program. Funding The CAFO Improvement Fund is a 60/40 cost share program with a $400K cap per owner/partnership for the funding period. A minimum of 40% of the total project funding must come from the grant applicant. Cost share dollars can come from in-kind labor and/or equipment, NRCS grant funds, or cash on hand. Funds will be distributed by reimbursement of receipts following project completion. The Grant Application Process This year the grant application, including workplan and budget, must be submitted through a grant management platform called AmpliFund. Previous awardees are encouraged to apply; however, priority will be given to new owner/partnership applications and owner/partnership applications that were not awarded in the previous funding cycles. Please note that if you applied in previous years and did not receive funding, you must re-apply for the 2024 funding cycle. Producers must have an approved and current Environmental/ Nutrient Management Plan (NMP) according to state regulations and must comply with the plan, as demonstrated by the most recent NMP review. Successful applications must specifically describe how the proposed project enhances current manure and nutrient management practices. Workshop To assist producers with the new software and to help answer questions related to the grant funds, two technical assistance webinars will be hosted on July 15th and August 19th, 2024, at 1 pm. It is highly recommended that applicants download and complete the CAFO work plan before participating in the webinar or making an application. Addl Info: https://lnkd.in/g3nXpsEJ Questions?: If you have questions regarding projects or the application process, please reach out to Valene Lickley Cauhorn at AGPROfessionals' Idaho Office (970) 571-9086 or [email protected] or Megan Satterwhite with IDAHO DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION INC (208) 420-6795 or [email protected]

ANIMAL FARMING 002 Personnel management.... Human personnel management in animal farming includes overseeing the people who, directly or indirectly, work with the animals on the farm. This entails selecting, educating, managing, and providing assistance to employees in order to guarantee the smooth and productive running of the farm. Here are few things to consider; Hiring and Recruitment: Human resource management starts with determining the farm's personnel requirements and hiring qualified individuals to fill open positions. This could entail posting job openings, going through resumes, holding interviews, and choosing applicants who meet the requirements in terms of education, training, and experience. Training and Development: Providing recently hired staff with the training and development they need to perform their jobs well is essential. This could involve workshops, seminars, on-the-job training, and educational programs covering subjects like animal husbandry techniques, safety and health procedures, operating equipment, and adhering to rules and guidelines. Job Assignments and Supervision: As part of human resource management, employees are given tasks and responsibilities according to their interests, background, and abilities. In order to guarantee that tasks are completed accurately and effectively, it also entails monitoring their work. High performance and productivity standards can be maintained by giving clear instructions, constructive criticism, and support. Collaboration and Communication: In animal farming, human personnel management depends heavily on effective communication. This entails encouraging clear and honest lines of communication within the team as well as between management and employees. Regular meetings, briefings, and feedback sessions can help to keep everyone informed, engaged, and motivated. Collaboration and teamwork are also encouraged to achieve common goals and solve problems collectively. Performance Management and Evaluation: An integral part of human resource management is the continuous observation and assessment of employees' work output. This may involve setting performance goals and expectations, conducting regular performance reviews, and providing constructive feedback. Recognizing and rewarding employees for their achievements and contributions helps to motivate them and foster a positive work environment. Employee Relations and Conflict Resolution: Handling disagreements and managing conflicts among employees is a crucial component of human resource management. This could entail resolving complaints, mediating disputes, and encouraging effective communication and conflict-resolution techniques. Building positive employee relations and fostering a supportive and inclusive workplace culture contribute to employee satisfaction and retention. Remember... Workers are a great tool in farm Growth !!! TREAT THEM RIGHT

Applied Environment & Safety is providing support to the Powerlink Queensland Genex Kidson Connection project with environmental management and property management. A key aspect of the project is biosecurity management of an organic and biodynamic property. Organic and biodynamic certification sets a high standard regarding biosecurity management and material inputs. These agricultural systems focus on preservation and development of the natural environment to support natural metabolic functions that enable the production of high quality product from a closed system. This closed system does not allow the input of external and non-organic products such as herbicides and fertilisers. This has led to specific biosecurity requirements given that chemicals to treat weeds and pests cannot be used. Read more about how we're supporting this project with biosecurity management here - https://lnkd.in/gWSpyhPm #environmental #projects #biosecurity
