Apply Manure at Once for Best Field Results
Manure that accumulates through winter should be applied to fields as soon as possible to maximize plant food. Fall and winter hauling direct from barn saves labor and puts nutrients into soil early, while spring hauling is hindered by ground softness. Stored manure loses substantial value, with up to 70 80 percent decline, and pits incur 26 percent loss. Manure, best when mixed with lime and phosphates, greatly boosts crops and saves storage space and barnyard sight.
