Agricultural Research Service
Title: Focus Groups to Understand Insights and Experiences of
Manureshed Managers.
OMB Number: 0518-XXXX.
Summary of Collection: This is a request, made by ARS National
Program Leader and ARS Rangeland Management Specialist, that the OMB
approve, under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, a generic clearance
for the ARS to conduct focus groups to understand the perspectives and
experiences of agricultural and natural resource professionals who
facilitate collaborative ``manureshed'' management. A manureshed is the
land geographically and economically connected to confined animal
feeding operations where manure from the operations can be recycled to
meet social, economic, and environmental goals.
Need and Use of the Information: The USDA-ARS Manureshed Working
Group will use focus group results to design research and extension
activities that address the knowledge gaps and opportunities
illuminated by practitioners on the ground to help develop viable
strategies for cooperative manure management
The Manureshed Working Group has begun to define the issues and
describe potential solutions using its own research-based and
extension-based knowledge with geospatial mapping and modeling. The
next critical step for manureshed researchers is to engage directly
with people on the ground who recycle manure, to incorporate their
insights into targeted, solutions-oriented research and extension.
Respondents: Individuals/Households; Farms. Respondent types are
animal farmers, crop farmers, manure professionals, natural resource
management professionals, and other stakeholders who each have a key
role in facilitating manureshed management in Colorado, Minnesota, and
New Mexico.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 450.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 398 hours.

Departmental Information Collection Clearance Officer.
