Lycoming County Government - Nutrient Management Program

In addition, all producers following the provisions of the law will benefit from limited liability protection offered under the act as well as financial assistance programs provided for plan development and implementation.

The program encourages landowners to make a long-term commitment to agriculture by offering them financial incentives and security of land use.
