How to become a registered manure broker

A person or business that moves, arranges, or otherwise acts as an intermediary in the movement of manure from an animal operation to eligible receiving operations must sign a Broker Agreement with the Maryland Department of Agriculture. The agreement process must be completed before applying for manure transport grants.
