Manitowoc County residents — we want to hear from you.

The Land Conservation Committee is requesting public input on a proposed 5-Year Nutrient Management Plan Manure & Waste Land Application Form related to livestock facility expansions.

The goal: ensure adequate land is available for manure management while supporting responsible agricultural growth.

Whether you are a farmer, landowner, neighbor, or community member — your perspective is valuable.
