Join this presentation for a review of several manure application methods and a discussion of some of the environmental impacts associated with them.
Land application of animal manures has been practiced for centuries. Today, with increased livestock operation size, concentration of facilities in various locations across the country, and environmental issues, farmers are facing increased regulations related to their livestock operations and manure land application. Animal manure can be used for crop production by providing valuable nutrients, and it also improves soil health. Land application can be in liquid, slurry or solid form. This presentation will review several of the manure application methods and outline some of the environmental impacts associated with them.
This webinar is presented by USDA NRCS Science and Technology.
