of the Science of Animal Manure and Waste Management along with the National
Center for Manure and Animal Waste Management.
Deviations from that agenda were not significant. Other than the S-1000
business meeting (see item III below), the days’ activities were jointly administered
by S-1000 and the Director of the National Center for Manure and Animal Waste
Management, Dr. Frank Humenik (NCSU). Ad hoc committees established
to coordinate the 2005-06 meeting of S-1000 were a Program Committee (Auvermann,
Applegate, and Classen).
