Environmental Training for Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs)

SDSU Extension will host an environmental training session for operators of Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) on June 25, 2025 at the Crossroads Convention Center in Huron (100 Fourth St. S.W. in Huron, 57350). Registration will begin at 8:15 a.m. with the program following at 8:45 a.m. and concluding at approximately 4:30 p.m.

This current training program meets the training requirement of the 2017 General Water Pollution Control Permit for CAFOs.  If producers haven’t attended a training since July 2017, they’ll need to attend in order to be in compliance with the General Permit.  Besides producers, it is encouraged that manure applicators, policy makers, County Commissioners, Zoning Board members, and concerned citizens attend since everyone can benefit from the information shared.
