Idaho Experiment Station notes barnyard manure losses from leaching and volatilization.

Liquid and solid manure deteriorate faster when stored separately, and compact storage from weather minimizes loss.
Kansas Agricultural College expert Ry A H Eeidigh explains that 3 to 4 inches of seasonal rain can leave 300 to 400 tons of water per acre in the subsoil. He urges plowing after harvest and drag-plowing in spring or summer to aid soaking, while warns against fall drag plowing to avoid soil packing or blowing.
