The Vegetated Filter Strip (VFS) System Design Manual:

  • Illustrates and describes the key components of a farm-based Vegetated Filter Strip (VFS) system
  • Allows farm owners/operators and other rural landowners the opportunity to carry out a preliminary assessment of the applicability of a VFS system (for their specific farmstead)
  • Outlines the detailed design process for the development of a VFS system for managing agricultural run-off.

This new resource for nutrient management consultants includes case studies for common design scenarios and provides technical details for your design questions. The Vegetated Filter Strip System Design Manual (Publication 826) is available for $25 (plus G.S.T. and shipping fees).
