Why use CAFOwebTM?
-
CAFOwebTM is a unique concept developed by a team of agricultural, hydrogeology, and water rights professionals with years of CAFO field experience and a thorough understanding of State and Federal regulations. CAFOwebTM was successfully tested at dairies in NM and NV and over-application issues were significantly reduced during after implementation.
-
The use of CAFOwebTM allows a farmer to make informed decisions on sustainable application of manure solids, nutrient-rich effluent and chemical fertilizers to land application fields at agronomic rates.
-
The use of CAFOwebTM helps you manage permitted effluent/green water discharge so application rates are not exceeded, government-permitted water rights are not over-appropriated, and soils will not be overloaded with nutirents that run off and contaminate surface water or leach down into ground water and contaminate drinking water supplies.
-
CAFOwebTM’s key benefit and goal is to help farmers manage manure, effluent and irrigation water in a sustainable manner. CAFOwebTM helps you remain in compliance or come back into compliance with governmental, agricultural, environmental and water rights related operational permits.
-
Current Best Management Practices (BMPs) only compare land-application of nutrients or manures to harvests after the fact. The use of CAFOwebTM allows a running real-time forecasting of nutrient application prior to the stage of having over-applied nutrients to fields.
Nutrient Management Plans (NMPs & CNMPs) can be best implemented using CAFOwebTM as an NMP implementation tool.
CAFOwebTM provides a compliance data tracking, monitoring record keeping system where multiple data sets such as ongoing sampling data, inspections data, cropping data and meter reading data can be stored, retrieved and analyzed from your computer anywhere in the world.
Use of CAFOwebTM retains the $$$ value of your facility by informing about potential environmental issues with groundwater, surface water and soils as soon as soon as they occur so that you can proactively work on fixing them before a small problem grows into a big issue.
Use of CAFOwebTM saves you money by preventing over-application application of manures and fertilizers and optimizing yields.
