The Iowa Manure Management Action Group (IMMAG) has recently added material to the IMMAG web page titled “Most Frequently Asked Questions about Manure Management in Iowa.” This series of questions has been compiled and answered by members IMMAG. The document serves as a general information piece to help explain manure management practices, land application concerns, and regulations. Some questions contain links to web pages with additional information or resources. It is anticipated that new questions and answers will be continuously added to the site in the future and existing questions and answer will be updated as regulations continued to be developed.

The Frequently Asked Questions document can be accessed by clicking on the “FAQ” button on the top horizontal green navigator bar on the IMMAG homepage or going directly to the page at
