Vermont's Ban on Manure Spreading in Effect Until April 1

Posted: Updated:
MONTPELIER, Vt. -

Vermont's Agency of Agriculture, Food, and Markets started its annual ban on manure spreading.

It's all part of a strategy to protect water quality and it went into effect Saturday.

It's a common practice in the Green Mountain state to enrich the soil.

Research shows manure applied on frozen ground can increase the run-off potential.

The ban is in effect until April 1.
