How to Prepare for a Dairy Compliance Review

A dairy compliance review goes better when records tell a consistent story — not when staff scramble to assemble it the week before.

Six weeks before

• Confirm facility maps reflect current lagoons, wells, and application fields
• Gather the last two years of manure and wastewater application records
• Locate well and lagoon sampling results with lab reports attached
• Review prior inspection reports and verify corrective actions are documented

Two weeks before

• Walk the facility with the same checklist reviewers use
• Identify gaps in dates, volumes, or field assignments
• Organize documents by facility and season, not by email thread
• Brief key staff on who answers which question during the visit

Where software helps
