An Extension ag engineer has some advice for crop farmers looking to use manure as a nutrient resource this spring.
Kapil Arora with Iowa State University says first make sure locations are environmentally fit for applications.
“So the livestock producer will be asking for some soil samples, and they do have to abide by the environmental regulations in their state.”
He tells Brownfield a manure analysis needs to be done to reveal the ratio of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium, as well as various micronutrients.
