Sustainable Chesapeake is seeking proposals for Agribusiness Partners for Supplemental Nitrogen Management Services in Pennsylvania’s Chesapeake Bay Basin.

The goal of this project is to reduce nitrogen (N) loss in the Pennsylvania Chesapeake Bay Basin through expanded adoption of liquid manure injection and supplemental N management.

This Request for Proposals (RFP) seeks qualified agribusinesses with clients located in the Pennsylvania portion of the Chesapeake Bay Basin who are interested in working with the Manure Injection Partnership to expand adoption of supplemental nitrogen (N) management on acres that are treated with manure injection. Combining supplemental N management with manure injection will ensure farmers using manure injection have the information they need to reduce N application rates, thereby improving both farm profit and water quality.

Qualified agribusiness partners, who have relationships with clients injecting manure in PA’s Chesapeake Bay Basin (identified in the map below) and who can deliver supplemental N management consulting services, are welcome and encouraged to apply. Project partners will connect eligible contractors with training resources, as necessary, to support the development of skills needed to provide advanced, supplemental nitrogen management services to their clients.
