Manure Trader is a free online service established in 2007 by the Pennsylvania Small Business Development Centers’ (PA SBDCs’) Environmental Management Assistance Program, working with the Pennsylvania State Conservation Commission of the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture.

This service is intended to help farmers find users for their excess manure. It allows registered users to post both available and wanted listings, to access directories of manure brokers and haulers, and to link to other valuable sources of information. Detailed instructions on how to use this site are available here.

The Pennsylvania SBDCs are a network of eighteen college and university-based centers dedicated to helping Pennsylvania entrepreneurs start and grow their businesses.
