| Description: |
Manure management should be a top priority on Minnesota hog farms, which generate about 11 million tons of manure anually. When used appropriately, manure has nutritive and economic value. Manure also improves biological activity, soil tilth and soil chemical properties. Mismanagement of manure can have a substantial negative impact on water, soil and air resources. This 5-page folder provides agronomic information with which swine producers can optimize the utilization of swine manure. Discusses issues such as manure sampling, developing spreading plans, equipment calibration and the logistics of manure application.
