Today, the Michigan Commission of Agriculture and Rural Development, in conjunction with the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD), announced the annual review period for the proposed drafts of the 2024 Generally Accepted Agricultural and Management Practices (GAAMPs). Comments will be accepted via email, U.S. mail, and a virtual public meeting is scheduled for 1 p.m. on August 25, 2023.
The GAAMPs are reviewed each year by committees comprised of various experts and revised or updated, as necessary. Any proposed GAAMPs changes are reviewed and approved by the Michigan Commission of Agriculture and Rural Development.
All eight GAAMPs are available for public comment: Manure Management and Utilization; Care of Farm Animals; Site Selection and Odor Control for New and Expanding Livestock Facilities; Farm Markets; Pesticide Utilization and Pest Control; Nutrient Utilization; Cranberry Production; and Irrigation Water Use.
