The Nevada County Resource Conservation District (NCRCD) has organized an exchange service that can benefit livestock owners and gardeners. The Manure Exchange Program helps connect farmers, gardeners, and landowners searching for sources of local manure/compost with livestock owners and managers who have excess fresh and/or composted manure.

This program is a resource for the community seeking a nearby source for fresh fertilizer and is a great way to recycle local natural resources!
