Last week, one of my back yard horse property listings was SOLD.  The Sellers were sad to leave, but looking forward to beginning their next phase in life.

Here is what they had to say:

“Just wanted to thank you so very much for your excellent service in selling our home of 35+ years.  You kept us up to date on everything that transpired throughout the whole process.  And, the settlement could not have gone smoother and easier than it did.  The family that bought our home was wonderful and we feel we left it in good hands.  We hoping they have many, many years of happiness in it.

Thanks so much again.

Lois and John”

Did you know that ALL farms in Pennsylvania that generate or use manure MUST have a manure or nutrient plan for their farm?  That's right!

Any farm that has a concentrated animal operation is required to have a certified planner prepare a nutirent management plan for their farm.  A farm with over 8 animals weighing 1,000 pounds or more that exceeds 2 animals per acre, is considered a concentrated animal operation.

Small farms with horses and livestock, that do not have a concentrated animal operation, are required to have a manure management plan for their farm.  Farm owners can prepare their own plans.

To help horse farm owners, Penn State Extension is offering a 2 night short course on how to write a manure management plan.  The short course will be held at the Northampton County Extension office June 6th, 2012 and June 27th, 2012, from 7:00PM until 9:00PM. 

Space is limited to 20 participants, so everyone can receive individual help in preparing their plan.  Cost is $25. So register early to reserve your spot.

If you have any questions, contact Donna Foulk or Sarah Rihl at 610-746-1970.
